Integration — practice question

The diagram depicts a shaded region enclosed by the $y$-axis, the line $y = -1$, and the section of the curve $y = x^2 + 4x + 3$ for which $x \geq -2$.
(i)[4]

Rewrite $y = x^2 + 4x + 3$ in the form $y = (x + a)^2 + b$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants. Hence, for $x \geq -2$, make $x$ the subject in terms of $y$.

(ii)[6]

Hence, with all necessary working shown, find the volume of the solid produced when the shaded region is rotated through $360^\circ$ about the $y$-axis.
