To evaluate the triple integral $\iiint_E (5x^2 + 4) \, dV$ in spherical coordinates, where $E$ is the region between the spheres $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 16$ and $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 25$, we follow these steps:

1. Convert the limits of integration for $E$:

   • In spherical coordinates, $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = \rho^2$.
   • Therefore, the boundaries of the region $E$ are given by $4 \leq \rho \leq 5$.

2. Express $5x^2 + 4$ in spherical coordinates:

   • We know that $x = \rho \sin \theta \cos \phi$.
   • Then, $x^2 = \rho^2 \sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \phi$.
   • So $5x^2 + 4 = 5\rho^2 \sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \phi + 4$.

3. Set up the triple integral in spherical coordinates:

   • The volume element in spherical coordinates is $dV = \rho^2 \sin \theta \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi$.
   • The limits for $\rho$ are from $4$ to $5$, for $\theta$ are from $0$ to $\pi$, and for $\phi$ are from $0$ to $2\pi$.

Thus, the integral becomes: $\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \int_4^5 \left(5 \rho^2 \sin^2 \theta \cos^2 \phi + 4\right) \rho^2 \sin \theta \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi.$

4. Separate the integral:

   • This integral can be split into two parts: $\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \int_4^5 5 \rho^4 \sin^3 \theta \cos^2 \phi \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi + \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\pi} \int_4^5 4 \rho^2 \sin \theta \, d\rho \, d\theta \, d\phi.$

5. Evaluate each part:

   First Part:

   • The $\cos^2 \phi$ term will integrate to $\pi$ over $\phi$ from $0$ to $2\pi$.
   • The $\sin^3 \theta$ term will require integration with respect to $\theta$.
   • After evaluating this part and the second part, we will sum the results to obtain the total integral.

This solution would yield a specific numerical value based on completing each integral.
