Integration — practice question

The diagram presents a segment of the curve $y = \frac{8}{x} + 2x$ together with three points $A$, $B$ and $C$ on the curve, whose $x$-coordinates are $1$, $2$ and $5$ respectively.
(i)[4]

A point $P$ travels along the curve so that its $x$-coordinate is increasing steadily at $0.04$ units per second. Find the rate at which the $y$-coordinate of $P$ is changing as $P$ goes through $A$.

(ii)[6]

Find the volume generated when the shaded region is rotated through $360^\circ$ about the $x$-axis.
