TopicPolar coordinates
TypeArea enclosed by polar curve
DifficultyChallenging +1.3 This is a multi-part polar coordinates question requiring identity manipulation, curve sketching, and area calculation. While it involves several steps and the identity work requires careful algebra, the question provides the key identity upfront and guides students through each stage. The area integral, once the identity is applied, becomes a standard integration of cos(2θ) which is routine for Further Maths students. The symmetry analysis requires some geometric insight but is straightforward. Overall, this is moderately above average difficulty due to the multi-step nature and FM content, but not exceptionally challenging as the path is well-signposted.

10 Use the identity \(2 \sin P \cos Q \equiv \sin ( P + Q ) + \sin ( P - Q )\) to show that $$2 \sin \theta \cos \left( \theta - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi \right) \equiv \cos \left( 2 \theta - \frac { 3 } { 4 } \pi \right) + \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { } 2 }$$ A curve has polar equation \(r = 2 \sin \theta \cos \left( \theta - \frac { 1 } { 4 } \pi \right)\), for \(0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { 3 } { 4 } \pi\). Sketch the curve and state the polar equation of its line of symmetry, justifying your answer. Show that the area of the region enclosed by the curve is \(\frac { 3 } { 8 } ( \pi + 1 )\).
