Apply the formula for area of a region in polar coordinates.

Areas of Regions Bounded by Polar Curves

We have studied the formulas for area under a curve defined in rectangular coordinates and parametrically defined curves. Now we turn our attention to deriving a formula for the area of a region bounded by a polar curve. Recall that the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus used the concept of a Riemann sum to approximate the area under a curve by using rectangles. For polar curves we use the Riemann sum again, but the rectangles are replaced by sectors of a circle.

Consider a curve defined by the function \(r=f(\theta ),\) where \(\alpha \le \theta \le \beta .\) Our first step is to partition the interval \([\alpha ,\beta ]\) into n equal-width subintervals. The width of each subinterval is given by the formula \(\Delta \theta =(\beta -\alpha )\text{/}n,\) and the ith partition point \({\theta }_{i}\) is given by the formula \({\theta }_{i}=\alpha +i\Delta \theta .\) Each partition point \(\theta ={\theta }_{i}\) defines a line with slope \(\text{tan}{\theta }_{i}\) passing through the pole as shown in the following graph.

The line segments are connected by arcs of constant radius. This defines sectors whose areas can be calculated by using a geometric formula. The area of each sector is then used to approximate the area between successive line segments. We then sum the areas of the sectors to approximate the total area. This approach gives a Riemann sum approximation for the total area. The formula for the area of a sector of a circle is illustrated in the following figure.

Recall that the area of a circle is \(A=\pi {r}^{2}.\) When measuring angles in radians, 360 degrees is equal to \(2\pi\) radians. Therefore a fraction of a circle can be measured by the central angle \(\theta .\) The fraction of the circle is given by \(\frac{\theta }{2\pi },\) so the area of the sector is this fraction multiplied by the total area:

\[A=(\frac{\theta }{2\pi })\ \pi {r}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\theta {r}^{2}.\]

Since the radius of a typical sector in is given by \({r}_{i}=f({\theta }_{i}),\) the area of the ith sector is given by

\[{A}_{i}=\frac{1}{2}(\Delta \theta ){(f({\theta }_{i}))}^{2}.\]

Therefore a Riemann sum that approximates the area is given by

\[{A}_{n}=\sum _{i=1}^{n}{A}_{i}\approx \sum _{i=1}^{n}\frac{1}{2}(\Delta \theta ){(f({\theta }_{i}))}^{2}.\]

We take the limit as \(n\to \infty\) to get the exact area:

\[A=\underset{n\to \infty }{\text{lim}}{A}_{n}=\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }{(f(\theta ))}^{2}d\theta .\]\[6\ \text{sin}\ \theta =0.\]

Arc Length in Polar Curves

Here we derive a formula for the arc length of a curve defined in polar coordinates.

In rectangular coordinates, the arc length of a parameterized curve \((x(t),y(t))\) for \(a\le t\le b\) is given by

\[L={\int }_{a}^{b}\sqrt{{(\frac{dx}{dt})}^{2}+{(\frac{dy}{dt})}^{2}}dt.\]

In polar coordinates we define the curve by the equation \(r=f(\theta ),\) where \(\alpha \le \theta \le \beta .\) In order to adapt the arc length formula for a polar curve, we use the equations

\[x=r\ \text{cos}\ \theta =f(\theta )\ \text{cos}\ \theta \ \text{and}\ y=r\ \text{sin}\ \theta =f(\theta )\ \text{sin}\ \theta ,\]

and we replace the parameter t by \(\theta .\) Then

\[\begin{array}{l}\frac{dx}{d\theta }={f}^{'}(\theta )\ \text{cos}\ \theta -f(\theta )\ \text{sin}\ \theta \\ \frac{dy}{d\theta }={f}^{'}(\theta )\ \text{sin}\ \theta +f(\theta )\ \text{cos}\ \theta .\end{array}\]

We replace \(dt\) by \(d\theta ,\) and the lower and upper limits of integration are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta ,\) respectively. Then the arc length formula becomes

\[\begin{array}{ll}L & ={\int }_{a}^{b}\sqrt{{(\frac{dx}{dt})}^{2}+{(\frac{dy}{dt})}^{2}}dt \\ & ={\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }\sqrt{{(\frac{dx}{d\theta })}^{2}+{(\frac{dy}{d\theta })}^{2}}d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }\sqrt{{({f}^{'}(\theta )\ \text{cos}\ \theta -f(\theta )\ \text{sin}\ \theta )}^{2}+{({f}^{'}(\theta )\ \text{sin}\ \theta +f(\theta )\ \text{cos}\ \theta )}^{2}}d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }\sqrt{{({f}^{'}(\theta ))}^{2}({\text{cos}}^{2}\theta +{\text{sin}}^{2}\theta )+{(f(\theta ))}^{2}({\text{cos}}^{2}\theta +{\text{sin}}^{2}\theta )}d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }\sqrt{{({f}^{'}(\theta ))}^{2}+{(f(\theta ))}^{2}}d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }\sqrt{{r}^{2}+{(\frac{dr}{d\theta })}^{2}}d\theta .\end{array}\]

This gives us the following theorem.

  1. Find the area of one petal of the rose defined by the equation \(r=3\ \text{sin}(2\theta ).\)

    Zbulo përgjigjen

    The graph of \(r=3\ \text{sin}(2\theta )\) follows.

    When \(\theta =0\) we have \(r=3\ \text{sin}(2(0))=0.\) The next value for which \(r=0\) is \(\theta =\pi \text{/}2.\) This can be seen by solving the equation \(3\ \text{sin}(2\theta )=0\) for \(\theta .\) Therefore the values \(\theta =0\) to \(\theta =\pi \text{/}2\) trace out the first petal of the rose. To find the area inside this petal, use with \(f(\theta )=3\ \text{sin}(2\theta ),\) \(\alpha =0,\) and \(\beta =\pi \text{/}2\text{:}\)

    \[\begin{array}{ll}A & =\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }{[f(\theta )]}^{2}d\theta \\ & =\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2}{[3\ \text{sin}(2\theta )]}^{2}d\theta \\ & =\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2}9\ {\text{sin}}^{2}(2\theta )\ d\theta .\end{array}\]

    To evaluate this integral, use the formula \({\text{sin}}^{2}\alpha =(1-\text{cos}(2\alpha ))\text{/}2\) with \(\alpha =2\theta \text{:}\)

    \[\begin{array}{ll}A & =\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2}9\ {\text{sin}}^{2}(2\theta )\ d\theta \\ & =\frac{9}{2}{\int }_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2}\frac{(1-\text{cos}(4\theta ))}{2}d\theta \\ & =\frac{9}{4}({\int }_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2}1-\text{cos}(4\theta )\ d\theta ) \\ & =\frac{9}{4}{(\theta -\frac{\text{sin}(4\theta )}{4})}_{0}^{\pi \text{/}2} \\ & =\frac{9}{4}(\frac{\pi }{2}-\frac{\text{sin}\ 2\pi }{4})-\frac{9}{4}(0-\frac{\text{sin}\ 4(0)}{4}) \\ & =\frac{9\pi }{8}.\end{array}\]

  2. Find the area inside the cardioid defined by the equation \(r=1-\text{cos}\ \theta .\)

    Zbulo përgjigjen

    \(A=3\pi \text{/}2\)

  3. Find the area outside the cardioid \(r=2+2\ \text{sin}\ \theta\) and inside the circle \(r=6\ \text{sin}\ \theta .\)

    Zbulo përgjigjen

    First draw a graph containing both curves as shown.

    To determine the limits of integration, first find the points of intersection by setting the two functions equal to each other and solving for \(\theta \text{:}\)

    \[\begin{array}{lll}6\ \text{sin}\ \theta & = & 2+2\ \text{sin}\ \theta \\ 4\ \text{sin}\ \theta & = & 2 \\ \text{sin}\ \theta & = & \frac{1}{2}.\end{array}\]

    This gives the solutions \(\theta =\frac{\pi }{6}\) and \(\theta =\frac{5\pi }{6},\) which are the limits of integration. The circle \(r=3\ \text{sin}\ \theta\) is the red graph, which is the outer function, and the cardioid \(r=2+2\ \text{sin}\ \theta\) is the blue graph, which is the inner function. To calculate the area between the curves, start with the area inside the circle between \(\theta =\frac{\pi }{6}\) and \(\theta =\frac{5\pi }{6},\) then subtract the area inside the cardioid between \(\theta =\frac{\pi }{6}\) and \(\theta =\frac{5\pi }{6}\text{:}\)

    \[\begin{array}{ll}A & =\text{circle}-\text{cardioid} \\ & =\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}{[6\ \text{sin}\ \theta ]}^{2}d\theta -\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}{[2+2\ \text{sin}\ \theta ]}^{2}d\theta \\ & =\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}36\ {\text{sin}}^{2}\theta \ d\theta -\frac{1}{2}{\int }_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}[4+8\ \text{sin}\ \theta +4\ {\text{sin}}^{2}\theta ]\ d\theta \\ & =18{\int }_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}\frac{1-\text{cos}(2\theta )}{2}d\theta -2{\int }_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}[1+2\ \text{sin}\ \theta +\frac{1-\text{cos}(2\theta )}{2}]d\theta \\ & =9{[\theta -\frac{\text{sin}(2\theta )}{2}]}_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6}-2{[\frac{3\theta }{2}-2\ \text{cos}\ \theta -\frac{\text{sin}(2\theta )}{4}]}_{\pi \text{/}6}^{5\pi \text{/}6} \\ & =9(\frac{5\pi }{6}-\frac{\text{sin}\ 2(5\pi \text{/}6)}{2})-9(\frac{\pi }{6}-\frac{\text{sin}\ 2(\pi \text{/}6)}{2}) \\ & \ \text{-}(3(\frac{5\pi }{6})-4\ \text{cos}\ \frac{5\pi }{6}-\frac{\text{sin}\ 2(5\pi \text{/}6)}{2})+(3(\frac{\pi }{6})-4\ \text{cos}\ \frac{\pi }{6}-\frac{\text{sin}\ 2(\pi \text{/}6)}{2}) \\ & =4\pi .\end{array}\]

  4. Find the area inside the circle \(r=4\ \text{cos}\ \theta\) and outside the circle \(r=2.\)

    Zbulo përgjigjen

    \(A=\frac{4\pi }{3}+2\sqrt{3}\)

  5. Find the arc length of the cardioid \(r=2+2\ \text{cos}\ \theta .\)

    Zbulo përgjigjen

    When \(\theta =0,r=2+2\ \text{cos}\ 0=4.\) Furthermore, as \(\theta\) goes from \(0\) to \(2\pi \text{,}\) the cardioid is traced out exactly once. Therefore these are the limits of integration. Using \(f(\theta )=2+2\ \text{cos}\ \theta ,\) \(\alpha =0,\) and \(\beta =2\pi \text{,}\) becomes

    \[\begin{array}{ll}L & ={\int }_{\alpha }^{\beta }\sqrt{{[f(\theta )]}^{2}+{[{f}^{'}(\theta )]}^{2}}\ d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{{[2+2\ \text{cos}\ \theta ]}^{2}+{[-2\ \text{sin}\ \theta ]}^{2}}\ d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{4+8\ \text{cos}\ \theta +4\ {\text{cos}}^{2}\ \theta +4\ {\text{sin}}^{2}\ \theta }\ d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{4+8\ \text{cos}\ \theta +4({\text{cos}}^{2}\ \theta +{\text{sin}}^{2}\ \theta )}\ d\theta \\ & ={\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{8+8\ \text{cos}\ \theta }\ d\theta \\ & =2{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{2+2\ \text{cos}\ \theta }\ d\theta .\end{array}\]

    Next, using the identity \(\text{cos}(2\alpha )=2\ {\text{cos}}^{2}\alpha -1,\) add 1 to both sides and multiply by 2. This gives \(2+2\ \text{cos}(2\alpha )=4\ {\text{cos}}^{2}\alpha .\) Substituting \(\alpha =\theta \text{/}2\) gives \(2+2\ \text{cos}\ \theta =4\ {\text{cos}}^{2}(\theta \text{/}2),\) so the integral becomes

    \[\begin{array}{ll}L & =2{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{2+2\ \text{cos}\ \theta }d\theta \\ & =2{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }\sqrt{4\ {\text{cos}}^{2}(\frac{\theta }{2})}d\theta \\ & =2{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }2|\text{cos}(\frac{\theta }{2})|d\theta .\end{array}\]

    The absolute value is necessary because the cosine is negative for some values in its domain. To resolve this issue, change the limits from \(0\) to \(\pi\) and double the answer. This strategy works because cosine is positive between \(0\) and \(\frac{\pi }{2}.\) Thus,

    \[\begin{array}{ll}L & =4{\int }_{0}^{2\pi }|\text{cos}(\frac{\theta }{2})|d\theta \\ & =8{\int }_{0}^{\pi }\text{cos}(\frac{\theta }{2})\ d\theta \\ & =8{(2\ \text{sin}(\frac{\theta }{2}))}_{0}^{\pi } \\ & =16.\end{array}\]

What is a partial derivative?

The ordinary derivative with respect to one variable while every other variable is frozen: the slope of the surface in one coordinate direction.

What does the gradient point at?

Uphill: the direction of steepest increase, with length equal to that steepest slope. It is perpendicular to the level curves.
