11 A curve has equation \(y = ( k x - 3 ) ^ { - 1 } + ( k x - 3 )\), where \(k\) is a non-zero constant.
  1. Find the \(x\)-coordinates of the stationary points in terms of \(k\), and determine the nature of each stationary point, justifying your answers.

  2. \includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{5fed65b9-a848-4343-858c-3cbac0608b24-4_556_855_1032_685} The diagram shows part of the curve for the case when \(k = 1\). Showing all necessary working, find the volume obtained when the region between the curve, the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(x = 2\), shown shaded in the diagram, is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. \footnotetext{Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
