How have I incorrectly calculated the area A inside the curve $r =1$ and outside the curve $r = 2\cos(\theta)$

138 Views Asked by At

I hope this isn't against guidelines but I want to show how I solved this on white paper, it might be clear where my logic went wrong in solving.

Find the are A of the region inside the curve $r = 1$ and outside the curve $r = 2cos(\theta)$

Thank you

You cannot integrate both over the interval $\left[\frac{\pi}{3},\pi\right]$.

The largest part is the quarter circle in the second quadrant which we know must have area equal to $\dfrac{\pi}{4}$ but it can be easily verified:

\begin{equation} \frac{1}{2}\int_{\pi/2}^\pi 1\,d\theta=\left[\frac{\theta}{2}\right]_{\pi/2}^\pi=\frac{\pi}{4} \end{equation}

It is only the part in quadrant I that is bounded by both functions:

\begin{eqnarray} \frac{1}{2}\int_{\pi/3}^{\pi/2}1-4\cos^2\theta\,d\theta&=& \text{ continue from here}\\ \end{eqnarray}

The area of the blue and yellow pieces together is,

$$\int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2}(1)^2 d\theta=\frac{\pi}{3}$$

The area of the blue piece by itself is,

$$\int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{2}(2\cos (\theta))^2 d\theta$$

$$=\int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 2\cos^2(\theta) d\theta$$

$$=\int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 2\left(\frac{1+\cos(2\theta)}{2} \right) d\theta$$

$$=\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$$

Thus the area of the yellow piece is,

$$\frac{\pi}{3}-(\frac{\pi}{6}-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4})=\frac{\pi}{6}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}$$

The area you are interested in is twice this:

$$A=\frac{\pi}{3}+\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
