TopicPolar coordinates

7 A curve has polar equation \(r = 5 \sin 2 \theta\) for \(0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\).
  1. Sketch the curve, indicating the line of symmetry and stating the polar coordinates of the point \(P\) on the curve which is furthest away from the pole.
  2. Calculate the area enclosed by the curve.
  3. Find the cartesian equation of the tangent to the curve at \(P\).
  4. Show that a cartesian equation of the curve is \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { 3 } = ( 10 x y ) ^ { 2 }\).
