Jim Lambers MAT 169 Fall Semester 2009-10 Lecture 38 Examples These examples correspond to Sections 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 in the text. Example (Section 9.3, Exercise 67) Let π be any point (except the origin) on the curve π = π (π). If π is the angle between the tangent line at π and the radial line ππ , show that tan π = π ππ/ππ [Hint: Observe that π = π β π in the ο¬gure on page 504 in the text.] Solution We have tan π = tan(π β π) = tan π β tan π . 1 + tan π tan π Because π is the angle that the tangent line makes with the positive π₯-axis, tan π = ππ¦ = ππ₯ ππ ππ ππ ππ sin π + π cos π cos π β π sin π . It follows that if we write πβ² = ππ/ππ, then tan π = πβ² sin π+π cos π sin π πβ² cos πβπ sin π β cos π β² π+π cos π sin π 1 + ππβ² sin cos πβπ sin π cos π , we can simplify by putting all fractions over a common denominator. Because the common denominators are both equal to cos π(πβ² cos π β π sin π), they cancel, and we obtain tan π = (πβ² sin π + π cos π) cos π β (πβ² cos π β π sin π) sin π . (πβ² cos π β π sin π) cos π + (πβ² sin π + π cos π) sin π Expanding, and using sin2 π + cos2 π = 1, we obtain tan π = π/πβ² . β‘ Example (Section 9.4, Exercise 15) Find the area of the region enclosed by one loop of the curve π = sin 2π. Solution We have π = 0 when π = 0 and π = π/2, so the interval 0 β€ π β€ π/2 corresponds to one loop of the curve. Therefore, the area of the region enclosed by this loop is 1 2 β« 0 π/2 1 sin 2π ππ = 2 2 β« 0 π/2 [ ] 1 sin 4π π/2 π 1 β cos 4π ππ = πβ = , 2 4 2 8 0 1 where a double-angle identity was used to rewrite sin2 2π in such a way that it can be integrated. β‘ Example (Section 9.4, Exercise 21) Find the area of the region that lies inside the curve π = 3 cos π and outside the curve π = 1 + cos π. Solution These curves intersect when 3 cos π = 1 + cos π, or cos π = 1/2, which is the case when π = ±π/3. Therefore, the area π΄ of the region between them is given by β« 1 2 π΄ = = = = [3 cos π]2 β [1 + cos π]2 ππ βπ/3 β« π/3 1 2 = π/3 9 cos2 π β (1 + 2 cos π + cos2 π) ππ βπ/3 π/3 1 2 β« 1 2 β« 1 2 β« 8 cos2 π β 1 β 2 cos π ππ βπ/3 π/3 8 βπ/3 π/3 1 + cos 2π β 1 β 2 cos π ππ 2 3 + 4 cos 2π β 2 cos π ππ βπ/3 [ ]π/3 1 sin 2π = 3π + 4 β 2 sin π 2 2 βπ/3 = π. β‘ Example (Section 9.4, Exercise 23) Find the area of the region that lies inside both of the curves π = sin π and π = cos π. Solution These curves intersect when π = π/4. Therefore, if we divide the region that lies inside both curves with the ray π = π/4, we can obtain its area π΄ by computing π΄ = = = = π/4 β« 1 2 [ β« 1 β cos 2π 1 π/2 1 + cos 2π ππ + ππ 2 2 π/4 2 0 [ ] ] π sin 2π π/4 π sin 2π π/2 β + + 2 4 2 4 0 π/4 sin2 π ππ + 0 β« π/4 π 1 π 1 β + β 8 4 8 4 2 1 2 β« π/2 1 2 πππ 2 π ππ π/4 = 1 (π β 2). 8 β‘ 3
