| Topic | Polar coordinates |
| Type | Show polar curve has Cartesian form |
| Difficulty | Standard +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.
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item Show that the polar equation of the curve is $r ^ { 2 } = c ^ { 2 } \sin 2 \theta$.
\item Sketch the curves $r = c \sqrt { \sin 2 \theta }$ and $r = - c \sqrt { \sin 2 \theta }$ for $0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi$.
\item Find the area of the region enclosed by one of the loops in part (b).
Section B (110 marks)\\
Answer all the questions.
\end{enumerate}
