10.5 Area and Arc Length in Polar Coordinates Miss Battaglia AP Calculus
2
Area in Polar Coordinates If f is continuous and nonnegative on the interval [α,β], 0 < β – α < 2π, then the area of the region bounded by the graph of r=f(θ) between the radial lines θ=α and θ=β is given by
3
Proof of Area Remember the area of a sector is given by ½θr 2 Radius of ith sector = f(θ i ) Central angle of ith sector = (β – α)/n = Δθ Taking the limit as n ∞ produces
4
Find the area enclosed by one loop of r=sin(4θ)
5
Arc Length of a Polar Curve Let f be a function whose derivative is continuous on an interval α < θ < β. The length of the graph of r=f(θ) from θ=α to θ=β is (Proof is Exercise 89 Section 10.5)
6
Find the arc length from θ=0 to θ=2π for the cardioid r=f(θ)=2-2cosθ
