The diagram shows the line \(y = 1\) and part of the curve \(y = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x+1}}\).
(i) Show that the equation \(y = \frac{2}{\sqrt{x+1}}\) can be written in the form \(x = \frac{4}{y^2} - 1\). [1]
(ii) Find \(\int \left( \frac{4}{y^2} - 1 \right) \, dy\). Hence find the area of the shaded region. [5]
(iii) The shaded region is rotated through 360° about the \(y\)-axis. Find the exact value of the volume of revolution obtained. [5]
