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 \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\).
- 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 \(PN\).
- Calculate the exact area of \(R\). (8)
