Consider the region $R$ in the first quadrant bounded by the $x$-axis and the curves $y=x^{-n}$ and $y=x^{n}$, where $n>1$ is a real number.

Region $R$ bounded by the $x$-axis and the curves $y=x^{-n}$ and $y=x^{n}$.

Find the volume $V(n)$ of the solid generated by revolving $R$ about the $x$-axis. Express your answer in terms of $n$.
