Practice AP Calculus BC questions on using one-half r-squared integrals to find areas bounded by polar curves in context.
Let S be the region bounded by the graph of the polar curve r(θ)=3θsin(θ2) for 0≤θ≤π, as shown in the figure above.
Find the area of S.
21∫0π(r(θ))2dθ=3.534292
The area of S is 3.534.
