  1. Show that the tangents to the curve at \(P\) and \(Q\) meet at a point on the line \(y = x\).
  2. Find, showing all necessary working, the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis. Give your answer in terms of \(\pi\).
    If you use the following lined page to complete the answer(s) to any question(s), the question number(s) must be clearly shown.
