area of part of Archimedes's spiral












3















Find the area of region inside the "first loop" of the Archimedes spiral (that is, the spiral for $0 le theta le 2pi$) and to the left of the $y$-axis.




The area the question wants is between $theta = pi/2$ and $theta = 3pi/2$ for the graph $r=theta$. Therefore, I computed the integral $int_{pi/2}^{3pi/2} theta ,dtheta = pi^2$. I even checked it with a graphing calculator to make sure that the integral was computed correctly. However, apparently, this is not a correct answer. Could someone help me see why?

    Can you explain why you wrote the area as $inttheta dtheta$? Are you familiar with double integrals?

  • Isn't the area element $r dr dtheta$ in polar?

  • The integral is $int int r dtheta dr = frac{1}{2}int theta^2 dtheta$, you forgot to integrate $r$ first from zero to $theta$.

Recall that the area element in polar coordinates is given by $r dr dtheta$. For any value of $theta,r$ ranges from $0totheta$. Further, $theta$ ranges from $pi/2to3pi/2$.



The answer is $$int_{pi/2}^{3pi/2}int_0^theta r dr dtheta=frac{13pi^3}{24}$$

    The integral for finding the area in polar coordinate is different from what you have.



    Please use the correct formula and you will get the correct answer.



    $$ A = (1/2) int r^2 dtheta $$ where in your case $ r=theta $
