Practise using polar integration to find exact areas bounded by polar curves and lines.
The region R is enclosed by C1 and C2 and includes the line OP. Find, in exact form, the area of R.
21∫061πsin22θ dθ+21∫61π21πcos2θ dθ
Uses 21∫r2 dθ with correct limits.
21∫061πsin22θ dθ=41∫061π1−cos4θ dθ
Integrates sin22θ using identity.
=41[θ−41sin4θ]061π21∫61π21πcos2θ dθ=41∫61π21π1+cos2θ dθ
Integrates cos2θ using identity.
=41[θ+21sin2θ]61π21π41(61π−813)+41(21π−61π−413)=81(π−433)
