Finding Polar Areas


Find the areas of the regions in Exercises 9–18.


Shared by the circles r = 1 and r = 2 sin θ

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the curves given: the circles are described by the polar equations \(r = 1\) and \(r = 2 \sin \theta\).
Find the points of intersection by setting the two equations equal: \(1 = 2 \sin \theta\). Solve for \(\theta\) to determine the limits of integration.
Determine which curve lies inside and which lies outside between the points of intersection by testing values of \(\theta\) in the interval.
Set up the integral(s) for the area of the region(s) bounded by the curves. Recall that the area enclosed by a polar curve \(r(\theta)\) from \(\alpha\) to \(\beta\) is given by \(\frac{1}{2} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} r(\theta)^2 \, d\theta\).
Express the total area as the sum or difference of integrals of \(\frac{1}{2} r^2\) for each curve over the appropriate intervals, based on which curve is outer or inner in each region.

Concetti chiave

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

Polar Coordinates and Graphing

Polar coordinates represent points using a radius and an angle (r, θ) instead of Cartesian coordinates. Understanding how to graph polar equations like r = 1 and r = 2 sin θ is essential to visualize the regions whose areas are to be found.

Area Calculation in Polar Coordinates

The area enclosed by a polar curve r(θ) between angles α and β is given by the integral (1/2) ∫ from α to β of [r(θ)]² dθ. This formula is fundamental for finding areas bounded by one or more polar curves.

Finding Points of Intersection in Polar Curves

To determine the limits of integration, it is necessary to find where the polar curves intersect by solving r₁(θ) = r₂(θ). These intersection points define the boundaries of the shared region for accurate area calculation.
