TopicPolar coordinates
TypeShow polar curve has Cartesian form
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward Further Maths polar coordinates question with standard conversions (x²+y²=r², xy=r²sinθcosθ), routine sketching of a lemniscate, and direct application of the polar area formula ½∫r²dθ. While Further Maths content, it requires only mechanical substitution and standard techniques without novel insight.

7 A curve has cartesian equation \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { 2 } = 2 c ^ { 2 } x y\), where \(c\) is a positive constant.
  1. Show that the polar equation of the curve is \(r ^ { 2 } = c ^ { 2 } \sin 2 \theta\).
  2. Sketch the curves \(r = c \sqrt { \sin 2 \theta }\) and \(r = - c \sqrt { \sin 2 \theta }\) for \(0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\).
  3. Find the area of the region enclosed by one of the loops in part (b). Section B (110 marks)
    Answer all the questions.
