Q. Find the area A enclosed by the lemniscate with equation r2=81cos(2θ). Choose your limits of integration carefully.The lemniscate(Give your answer to the nearest whole number.)
Understand the equation: Step 1: Understand the equation of the lemniscate.The given equation is r2=81cos(2θ). This is a lemniscate, which is a figure-eight shaped curve. We need to find the area enclosed by one loop of the lemniscate.
Set up the integral: Step 2: Set up the integral for the area.The area A of one loop of a lemniscate given by r2=a2cos(2θ) is A=21∫r2dθ. Here, a2=81, so r2=81cos(2θ). We integrate from θ=−4π to θ=4π to cover one loop.
Calculate the integral: Step 3: Calculate the integral.A=21∫−4π4π81cos(2θ)dθ.=21×81×∫−4π4πcos(2θ)dθ.=40.5×[2sin(2θ)]−4π4π.=40.5×[2sin(2π)−sin(−2π)].=40.5×[21−(−1)].=40.5×(22).=40.5.
