The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{6}{x}\). The line \(y = 4\) intersects the curve at the points \(P\) and \(Q\).

(i) Show that the tangents to the curve at \(P\) and \(Q\) meet at a point on the line \(y = x\).

(ii) Find, showing all necessary working, the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through 360° about the \(x\)-axis. Give your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
