TopicPolar coordinates
TypeArea enclosed by polar curve
DifficultyChallenging +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.
Spec4.09b Sketch polar curves: r = f(theta)4.09c Area enclosed: by polar curve

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