Area Between Polar Curves Section 10.5
Rectangular Coordinates Sketch the area bound by the lines 𝑦=𝑥 and 𝑦=−𝑥+6. Set up an integral to find the area of the region bound by the 2 graphs and the x-axis.
Polar Coordinates Sketch the graphs 𝑟=−6 cos 𝜃 and 𝑟=2−2 cos 𝜃 . Find the area of the region common to the two regions bounded by the curves.
Rectangular Coordinates Sketch the graphs of 𝑦= 𝑥 2 and 𝑦=𝑥. Find the area of the region bounded by these curves.
Polar Coordinates Sketch the curves 𝑟=1 and 𝑟=1− cos 𝜃 Find the area of the region that lies inside the circle and outside the cardioid.
Examples Find the area of the common interior of 𝑟=3 and 𝑟=6 cos (2𝜃) Find the area inside the circle but outside the petal graph. Find the area inside the petal graph but outside the circle.
