Integration — practice question

The diagram depicts part of the curve $y = \frac{9}{2x+3}$, which cuts the $y$-axis at $B(0, 3)$. On the curve, the point $A$ has coordinates $(3, 1)$, and the tangent drawn at $A$ meets the $y$-axis at $C$.
(i)[4]

Find the equation of the tangent at $A$.

(ii)[1]

Determine, showing all necessary working, whether $C$ lies nearer to $B$ or to $O$.

(iii)[4]

Find, showing all necessary working, the exact volume obtained when the shaded region is rotated through $360^\circ$ about the $x$-axis.
