  1. Find the value of \(I _ { 2 }\).
  2. Show that, for \(n > 2\), $$( n - 1 ) I _ { n } = 2 ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } n - 1 } + ( n - 2 ) I _ { n - 2 }$$
  3. The curve \(C\) has equation \(y = \sec ^ { 3 } x\) for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\). The region \(R\) is bounded by \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(x = \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi\). Find the volume of revolution generated when \(R\) is rotated through \(2 \pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
