Figure 3 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with equation
$$y = 3^x$$
The point \(P\) lies on \(C\) and has coordinates \((2, 9)\).
The line \(l\) is a tangent to \(C\) at \(P\). The line \(l\) cuts the \(x\)-axis at the point \(Q\).
- Find the exact value of the \(x\) coordinate of \(Q\).
[4]
The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 3, is bounded by the curve \(C\), the \(x\)-axis, the \(y\)-axis and the line \(l\). This region \(R\) is rotated through \(360°\) about the \(x\)-axis.
- Use integration to find the exact value of the volume of the solid generated.
Give your answer in the form \(\frac{p}{q}\) where \(p\) and \(q\) are exact constants.
[You may assume the formula \(V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h\) for the volume of a cone.]
