  1. Differentiate \(( x - 1 ) ^ { 4 }\) with respect to \(x\).
  2. The diagram shows the curve with equation \(y = 2 \sqrt { ( x - 1 ) ^ { 3 } }\) for \(x \geqslant 1\).

Find the exact value of the volume of the solid formed when the region \(R\) is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis.
  3. Describe a sequence of two geometrical transformations that maps the graph of \(y = \sqrt { x ^ { 3 } }\) onto the graph of \(y = 2 \sqrt { ( x - 1 ) ^ { 3 } }\).
