Show that \(\frac{3x^2}{(x+1)(3x^2+x+1)}\) can be expressed as\n\[\frac{A}{x+1} + \frac{Bx+C}{3x^2+x+1},\]\nwhere \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\) are constants to be determined.

Hence, find \(\displaystyle\displaystyle \int \frac{3x^2}{(x+1)(3x^2+x+1)} \, \mathrm{d}x\).

The region \(R\) is bounded by the curve \(y = \frac{3x^2}{(x+1)(3x^2+x+1)}\), the line \(x=4\) and the \(x\)-axis.

Sketch the graph of \(y = \frac{3x^2}{(x+1)(3x^2+x+1)}\) for \(x \ge 0\), giving the coordinates of any intercepts with the axes and the equations of any asymptotes. Shade the region \(R\) on your sketch.

Find the volume of the solid generated when \(R\) is rotated through \(2\pi\) radians about the \(x\)-axis.
