\includegraphics[max width=\textwidth, alt={}, center]{11bfe5bd-604c-43e5-81e7-4c1f5676bcbb-4_502_663_255_740} The diagram shows part of the curve \(y = \frac { 9 } { 2 x + 3 }\), crossing the \(y\)-axis at the point \(B ( 0,3 )\). The point \(A\) on the curve has coordinates \(( 3,1 )\) and the tangent to the curve at \(A\) crosses the \(y\)-axis at \(C\).
  1. Find the equation of the tangent to the curve at \(A\).
  2. Determine, showing all necessary working, whether \(C\) is nearer to \(B\) or to \(O\).
  3. Find, showing all necessary working, the exact volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through \(360 ^ { \circ }\) about the \(x\)-axis.
