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 \(y = 2\).

(i) Find the area of the shaded region.

(ii) Find the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through \(360^\circ\) about the \(x\)-axis.

Tangents are drawn to the curve at the points \(P\) and \(Q\).

(iii) Find the acute angle, in degrees correct to 1 decimal place, between the two tangents.

The diagram shows the curve \(y = 3x^{\frac{1}{4}}\). The shaded region is bounded by the curve, the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = 4\). Find the volume of the solid obtained when this shaded region is rotated completely about the \(x\)-axis, giving your answer in terms of \(\pi\).

The equation of a curve is \(y = \frac{6}{5 - 2x}\).

The region between the curve, the x-axis and the lines \(x = 0\) and \(x = 1\) is rotated through 360ยฐ about the x-axis. Show that the volume obtained is \(\frac{12}{5} \pi\).
