Calculus Level 5

Calculate the shadowed area A int the graph above knowing that the equation for it is

tan ( x 2 + y 2 ) = y / x \tan(\sqrt{x^2 +y^2})=y/x

Express your answer as 1000 A \lceil 1000A \rceil .


The answer is 646.

This is just an Archimedean spiral, with polar equation r = θ r=\theta , and the area is A = 1 2 0 π / 2 r 2 d θ = π 3 48 0.6459 A=\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{\pi/2}{r^2}d\theta=\frac{{\pi}^3}{48}\approx 0.6459 . The required answer is 646 \boxed{646} .

Clearly:by the substitution x = r . c o s ( θ ) x=r.cos(\theta) and y = r . s i n ( θ ) y=r.sin(\theta) yields : r = θ r=\theta hence as A A is closed area we can write: A = 1 2 0 p i / 2 r 2 d r = f r a c p i 3 48 A=\frac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{pi/2}{r^2}dr=frac{pi^3}{48}
