TopicPolar coordinates
TypeRegion bounded by curve and tangent lines
DifficultyChallenging +1.3 This is a Further Maths FP2 polar coordinates question requiring standard techniques: finding where tangent is parallel to a line using dr/dθ (part a), and calculating area using polar integration combined with triangle geometry (part b). While the topic is advanced, the methods are routine for FP2 students—no novel insight required, just careful application of formulas.
Spec4.09a Polar coordinates: convert to/from cartesian4.09b Sketch polar curves: r = f(theta)4.09c Area enclosed: by polar curve

The curve \(C\) shown in the diagram above has polar equation $$r = 4(1 - \cos\theta), 0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}.$$ At the point \(P\) on \(C\), the tangent to \(C\) is parallel to the line \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\).
  1. Show that \(P\) has polar coordinates \(\left(2, \frac{\pi}{3}\right)\).(5)
The curve \(C\) meets the line \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\) at the point \(A\). The tangent to \(C\) at the initial line at the point \(N\). The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in the diagram above, is bounded by the initial line, the line \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\), the arc \(AP\) of \(C\) and the line \(PN\).
  1. Calculate the exact area of \(R\). (8)
