TopicPolar coordinates

5 The curve \(C\) has polar equation \(r = 1 + 2 \cos \theta\). Sketch the curve for \(- \frac { 2 } { 3 } \pi \leqslant \theta < \frac { 2 } { 3 } \pi\). Find the area bounded by \(C\) and the half-lines \(\theta = - \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi , \theta = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi\).
