The region inside one leaf of the rose r = cos 5θ

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recognize that the given curve is a rose curve defined by the polar equation \(r = \cos(5\theta)\). This curve has 5 petals because the coefficient of \(\theta\) inside the cosine is 5.
Recall that the area \(A\) enclosed by one petal of a rose curve \(r = \cos(k\theta)\) (where \(k\) is an integer) can be found using the integral formula for polar areas: \(A = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} r^2 \, d\theta\)
Determine the limits of integration \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) that correspond to one leaf (one petal) of the rose. Since the rose has 5 petals, one petal corresponds to an interval of \(\frac{2\pi}{5}\) radians. You can find the exact interval by solving \(r = 0\) to find where the petal starts and ends, or use symmetry and set \(\theta\) from \(0\) to \(\frac{\pi}{5}\).
Set up the integral for the area of one petal: \(A = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{5}} \left( \cos(5\theta) \right)^2 \, d\theta\)
Use the trigonometric identity \(\cos^2 x = \frac{1 + \cos(2x)}{2}\) to simplify the integrand before integrating. Then, integrate with respect to \(\theta\) over the chosen limits to find the area of one petal.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Polar Coordinates and Graphs

Polar coordinates represent points using a radius and an angle, expressed as (r, θ). Graphs like r = cos 5θ produce rose curves with multiple petals, where the number of petals depends on the coefficient of θ. Understanding how to interpret and sketch these curves is essential for identifying the region whose area is to be found.

Area in Polar Coordinates

The area enclosed by a curve in polar coordinates is found using the integral formula A = (1/2) ∫ r(θ)^2 dθ over the appropriate interval. This formula accounts for the sector-like shape of regions defined by polar functions, making it crucial for calculating areas of petals in rose curves.

Determining Limits of Integration for One Petal

To find the area of one leaf of a rose curve, it is necessary to determine the correct angular interval that traces exactly one petal. For r = cos 5θ, one petal corresponds to an interval of length π/5, derived from the periodicity and symmetry of the function. Setting proper limits ensures the integral covers only the desired region.

Golden Gate Bridge Completed in 1937, San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge is 2.7 km long and weighs about 890,000 tons. The length of the span between the two central towers is 1280 m; the towers themselves extend 152 m above the roadway. The cables that support the deck of the bridge between the two towers hang in a parabola (see figure). Assuming the origin is midway between the towers on the deck of the bridge, find an equation that describes the cables. How long is a guy wire that hangs vertically from the cables to the roadway 500 m from the center of the bridge?
