final answer with the multiplier being pi instead of 2pi

If the multiplier is \( \pi \) instead of \( 2\pi \), this implies that the integral is likely set up using the **disk/washer method** rather than the cylindrical shells method. 

Let's adjust the integral accordingly:

### Step 1: Using the Disk/Washer Method
When rotating around a vertical line, like \( x = -4 \), the volume can be expressed by:

\[
V = \pi \int_{y_{\text{min}}}^{y_{\text{max}}} \left[\text{(outer radius)}^2 - \text{(inner radius)}^2\right] \, dy
\]

### Step 2: Identify the radii
- **Outer radius**: This would be the distance from \( x = -4 \) to the line \( x = -4 \) (a fixed value), which is 0, so this does not contribute in the disk method. However, since we are using \( y \) as the variable, the **outer radius** for a given \( y \) is simply \( \ln y + 4 \) (the distance from \( x = -4 \) to the curve \( y = e^x \)).
  
- **Inner radius**: For this setup, there's no inner function since the area rotates about a line on its edge.

### Step 3: Set up the integral
The volume of the solid is given by:

\[
V = \pi \int_{1}^{4} \left[(\ln y + 4)^2\right] \, dy
\]

This expression represents the volume of the solid generated by rotating the region \( R \) around the line \( x = -4 \), using the disk method and with a multiplier of \( \pi \) instead of \( 2\pi \).

This is the final answer with the multiplier being \( \pi \) instead of \( 2\pi \).

**Relative Questions**:
1. How would you express the volume integral if you rotate around a line that is not on the boundary of the region, like \( x = 0 \)?
2. How does the disk method compare with the cylindrical shells method in terms of setting up integrals?
3. What would be the impact on the integral if the line \( y = 1 \) was removed from the region \( R \)?
4. How does changing the rotation axis to \( y = 0 \) alter the volume calculation?
5. Can you solve this integral step-by-step to find the exact volume?

**Tip**: When using the disk method, carefully square the radii before integrating to avoid mistakes in setting up the integral.
