\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{6eada775-be31-4d0f-87b5-0e7e00b376f3-18_645_723_258_573} The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = ( x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } + ( x + 1 ) ^ { - 1 }\) and the line \(x = 1\). The point \(A\) is the minimum point on the curve.

1. Show that the \(x\)-coordinate of \(A\) satisfies the equation \(2 ( x + 1 ) ^ { 3 } = 1\) and find the exact value of \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } }\) at \(A\).
2. Find, showing all necessary working, the volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis.
