  1. Given that \(\mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x } = 3\), find the exact value of \(x\).
  2. Use integration by parts to find \(\int x \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x } \mathrm {~d} x\).
  3. A curve has equation \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x } + 6 x\).
    1. Find the exact values of the coordinates of the stationary point of the curve.
    2. Determine the nature of the stationary point.
    3. The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - 2 x } + 6 x\), the \(x\)-axis and the lines \(x = 0\) and \(x = 1\). Find the volume of the solid formed when \(R\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis, giving your answer to three significant figures.
