  1. On separate diagrams:
    1. sketch the curve with equation \(y = | 3 x + 3 |\);
    2. sketch the curve with equation \(y = \left| x ^ { 2 } - 1 \right|\).
    1. Solve the equation \(| 3 x + 3 | = \left| x ^ { 2 } - 1 \right|\).
    2. Hence solve the inequality \(| 3 x + 3 | < \left| x ^ { 2 } - 1 \right|\). \(8 \quad\) Use the substitution \(u = 1 + 2 \tan x\) to find $$\int \frac { 1 } { ( 1 + 2 \tan x ) ^ { 2 } \cos ^ { 2 } x } d x$$
