8 0

Answer:

In order to go from the first point to the second, we need to rise from 4 to 7, i.e. by 3. We also need to run from -4 to -2, i.e. by 2. Therefore the slope is 32 .

The graphs of the polar curves r = 4 and r = 3 + 2cosθ are shown in the figure above. The curves intersect at θ = π/3 and θ = 5π

(a)

$\displaystyle \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\frac{5\pi}{3}} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

or, via symmetry

$\displaystyle\frac{1}{2} \cdot 2 \int_{\frac{\pi}{3}}^{\pi} \left(4^2 - (3 + 2\cos\theta)^2 \right) \, d\theta$

By the chain rule:

$\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta}$

For polar coordinates, x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ. Since
r = 3 + 2cosθ, it follows that

$x = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \cos \theta \\ 
y = (3 + 2\cos\theta) \sin \theta$

Differentiating with respect to theta

$\begin{aligned}
\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx} &= \frac{ dy/ d\theta}{ dx/ d\theta} \\
&= \frac{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(\cos\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\sin\theta)}{(3 + 2\cos\theta)(-\sin\theta) + (-2\sin\theta)(\cos\theta)} \\ \\
\left.\frac{dy}{dx}\right_{\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}}
&= 2/3
\end{aligned}$

2/3 is the slope

(c)

"distance between the particle and the origin increases at a constant rate of 3 units per second" implies dr/dt = 3

Angle θ and r are related via r = 3 + 2cosθ, so implicitly differentiating with respect to time

 $\displaystyle\frac{dr}{dt} = -2\sin\theta \frac{d\theta}{dt} \quad \stackrel{\theta = \pi/3}{\implies} \quad 3 = -2\left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}\right) \frac{d\theta}{dt} \implies \\ \\ \frac{d\theta}{dt} = -\sqrt{3} \text{ radians per second}$
