The function \(f\) is such that \(f(x) = \frac{3}{2x+5}\) for \(x \in \mathbb{R}, x \neq -2.5\).
A curve has the equation \(y = f(x)\). Find the volume obtained when the region bounded by the curve, the coordinate axes and the line \(x = 2\) is rotated through 360ยฐ about the \(x\)-axis.
The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = \frac{6}{3x - 2}\).
(i) Find the gradient of the curve at the point where \(x = 2\).
(ii) Find the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through 360ยฐ about the x-axis, giving your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
The diagram shows the curve \(y = \sqrt{3x + 1}\) and the points \(P(0, 1)\) and \(Q(1, 2)\) on the curve. The shaded region is bounded by the curve, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(y = 2\).
