  1. Explain briefly how you can tell from this form of the equation that \(C\) is symmetrical about the line \(\theta = 0\) and that the tangent to \(C\) at the pole \(O\) is perpendicular to the line \(\theta = 0\).
  2. The equation of \(C\) may be expressed in the form \(r = k ( 1 + \cos 2 \theta )\). State the value of \(k\) and use this form to show that the area of the region enclosed by \(C\) is given by $$\int _ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } ( 3 + 4 \cos 2 \theta + \cos 4 \theta ) d \theta ,$$ and hence find this area.
  3. The length of \(C\) is denoted by \(L\). Show that $$L = 8 \int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi } \cos \theta \sqrt { 1 + 3 \sin ^ { 2 } \theta } \mathrm {~d} \theta$$ and use the substitution \(\sinh x = \sqrt { 3 } \sin \theta\) to determine \(L\) in an exact form.
