  1. Show that a cartesian equation of \(C\) is \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { 3 } = 9 ( x - y ) ^ { 4 }\).
  2. Show that the line with equation \(\mathrm { y } = \mathrm { x }\) is a line of symmetry of \(C\).
  3. In this question you must show detailed reasoning. Find the exact area of each of the loops of \(C\).
