9 The equation of a curve, in polar coordinates, is $$r = \sec \theta + \tan \theta , \quad \text { for } 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi$$
  1. Sketch the curve.
  2. Find the exact area of the region bounded by the curve and the lines \(\theta = 0\) and \(\theta = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi\).
  3. Find a cartesian equation of the curve. \footnotetext{Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
