Solution by Steps
step 1
To sketch the polar curves r=2r=2 and r=2(1sinθ)r=2(1-\sin \theta), we first recognize that r=2r=2 is a circle with radius 2 centered at the origin
step 2
The curve r=2(1sinθ)r=2(1-\sin \theta) is a cardioid. To sketch it, note that when θ=0\theta=0, r=2(10)=2r=2(1-0)=2; when θ=π2\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}, r=2(11)=0r=2(1-1)=0; when θ=π\theta=\pi, r=2(1+0)=2r=2(1+0)=2; and when θ=3π2\theta=\frac{3\pi}{2}, r=2(1+1)=4r=2(1+1)=4
step 3
Plot these points and draw the cardioid. The region RR is inside the circle r=2r=2 and outside the cardioid r=2(1sinθ)r=2(1-\sin \theta). Shade this region
step 4
To find the area of RR, we use the formula for the area between two polar curves: A=12αβ(r12r22)dθA = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} (r_1^2 - r_2^2) \, d\theta. Here, r1=2r_1=2 and r2=2(1sinθ)r_2=2(1-\sin \theta)
step 5
The limits of integration are from θ=0\theta=0 to θ=2π\theta=2\pi. Thus, the area AA is given by: A=1202π[22(2(1sinθ))2]dθA = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} [2^2 - (2(1-\sin \theta))^2] \, d\theta
step 6
Simplify the integrand: A=1202π[44(1sinθ)2]dθ=1202π[44(12sinθ+sin2θ)]dθA = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} [4 - 4(1-\sin \theta)^2] \, d\theta = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} [4 - 4(1 - 2\sin \theta + \sin^2 \theta)] \, d\theta
step 7
Further simplify: A=1202π[44+8sinθ4sin2θ]dθ=1202π[8sinθ4sin2θ]dθA = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} [4 - 4 + 8\sin \theta - 4\sin^2 \theta] \, d\theta = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{2\pi} [8\sin \theta - 4\sin^2 \theta] \, d\theta
step 8
Split the integral: A=12(02π8sinθdθ02π4sin2θdθ)A = \frac{1}{2} \left( \int_{0}^{2\pi} 8\sin \theta \, d\theta - \int_{0}^{2\pi} 4\sin^2 \theta \, d\theta \right)
step 9
Evaluate the integrals: 02π8sinθdθ=0\int_{0}^{2\pi} 8\sin \theta \, d\theta = 0 (since sinθ\sin \theta is an odd function over [0,2π][0, 2\pi]) and 02π4sin2θdθ=4π\int_{0}^{2\pi} 4\sin^2 \theta \, d\theta = 4 \cdot \pi
step 10
Thus, A=12(04π)=2πA = \frac{1}{2} \left( 0 - 4\pi \right) = -2\pi. Since area cannot be negative, we take the absolute value: A=2πA = 2\pi
Answer
The area of the region RR is 2π2\pi.
Key Concept
Area between polar curves
Explanation
To find the area between two polar curves, we use the formula A=12αβ(r12r22)dθA = \frac{1}{2} \int_{\alpha}^{\beta} (r_1^2 - r_2^2) \, d\theta, where r1r_1 and r2r_2 are the given polar functions and α\alpha and β\beta are the limits of integration.
