| Topic | Polar coordinates |
| Type | Area enclosed by polar curve |
| Difficulty | Challenging +1.2 This is a standard Further Maths polar coordinates question covering sketching, area, and arc length with a guided substitution. Parts (i)-(ii) are routine applications of formulas. Parts (iii)-(iv) require more work but the substitution is given and the integration is straightforward, making this moderately above average difficulty for FM students but not requiring novel insight. |

11 The curve $C$ has polar equation $r = a ( 1 + \sin \theta )$ for $- \pi < \theta \leqslant \pi$, where $a$ is a positive constant.\\
(i) Sketch $C$.\\
(ii) Find the area of the region enclosed by $C$.\\
(iii) Show that the length of the arc of $C$ from the pole to the point furthest from the pole is given by
$$s = ( \sqrt { } 2 ) a \int _ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \sqrt { } ( 1 + \sin \theta ) \mathrm { d } \theta$$
(iv) Show that the substitution $u = 1 + \sin \theta$ reduces this integral for $s$ to $( \sqrt { } 2 ) a \int _ { 0 } ^ { 2 } \frac { 1 } { \sqrt { } ( 2 - u ) } \mathrm { d } u$. Hence evaluate $s$.\\
