You are given that the domain of y = (f g h)(x) can be extended to the whole
real axis. That part of the graph of y = (f g h)(x), between its maximum at x = 0
and its first minimum for positive x, is rotated by 2 about the y-axis. Calculate the
volume of the solid generated.

When the function q(x) = x3 + kx2 7x + 3 is divided by (x + 1) the remainder is seven times the
remainder that is found when the function is divided by (x + 2).
