TopicParametric integration
TypeShow integral then evaluate area
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a multi-part parametric question requiring: (i) finding parameter limits from a diagram, (ii) chain rule differentiation, (iii) using small angle approximations to solve cos t - t sin t = 0 (non-trivial), and (iv) setting up and evaluating a parametric area integral with double angle identity and integration by parts. The small angle approximation for finding the maximum and the detailed integration push this above average difficulty.

  1. Find the value of \(k\).
  2. Find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t }\) in terms of \(t\). The maximum point on \(C\) is denoted by \(P\).
  3. Using your answer to part (ii) and the standard small angle approximations, find an approximation for the \(x\)-coordinate of \(P\).
  4. (a) Show that the area of the finite region bounded by \(C\) and the \(x\)-axis is given by $$b \int _ { 0 } ^ { a } t ( 1 + \cos 2 t ) \mathrm { d } t$$ where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants to be determined.
    (b) In this question you must show detailed reasoning. Hence find the exact area of the finite region bounded by \(C\) and the \(x\)-axis.
