  1. The first three terms of an arithmetic progression are \(25,4 p - 1\) and \(13 - p\), where \(p\) is a constant. Find the value of the tenth term of the progression.
  2. The first three terms of a geometric progression are \(25,4 q - 1\) and \(13 - q\), where \(q\) is a positive constant. Find the sum to infinity of the progression.

The curve intersects the line \(y = 1\) at the point \(( 1,1 )\). Find the exact volume of the solid generated when the shaded region is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis.
