The diagram shows part of the curve with equation \(y = \frac{4}{(2x-1)^2}\) and parts of the lines \(x = 1\) and \(y = 1\). The curve passes through the points \(A(1, 4)\) and \(B\left( \frac{3}{2}, 1 \right)\).

The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = (x-1)^{-2} + 2\), and the lines \(x = 1\) and \(x = 3\). The point \(A\) on the curve has coordinates \((2, 3)\). The normal to the curve at \(A\) crosses the line \(x = 1\) at \(B\).
(i) Show that the normal \(AB\) has equation \(y = \frac{1}{2}x + 2\).

The diagram shows a shaded region bounded by the y-axis, the line \(y = -1\) and the part of the curve \(y = x^2 + 4x + 3\) for which \(x \geq -2\).
(i) Express \(y = x^2 + 4x + 3\) in the form \(y = (x + a)^2 + b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants. Hence, for \(x \geq -2\), express \(x\) in terms of \(y\).
(ii) Hence, showing all necessary working, find the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through 360° about the y-axis.
The diagram shows part of the curve with equation \(y = \sqrt{x^3 + x^2}\). The shaded region is bounded by the curve, the x-axis and the line \(x = 3\).

The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = 2(3x - 1)^{-\frac{1}{3}}\) and the lines \(x = \frac{2}{3}\) and \(x = 3\). The curve and the line \(x = \frac{2}{3}\) intersect at the point \(A\).
