  1. Given that \(z = \frac { \sin x } { \cos x }\), use the quotient rule to show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } z } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \sec ^ { 2 } x\).
  2. Sketch the curve with equation \(y = \sec x\) for \(- \frac { \pi } { 2 } < x < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\).
  3. The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(y = \sec x\), 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.
