Finding area of figures

Calculus Level 3

Find the area of the figure bounded by the curve: x 4 + y 4 = 1345 ( x ) 3 2 ( y ) 3 2 x^4+y^4=1345(x)^\frac{3}{2} (y)^\frac{3}{2}

The answer may come as: A 2 B \Large\frac{A^2}{B} , where A A and B B are coprime.

Write your answer as A + B A+B .


The answer is 1353.

First, we will covert the cartesian equation to polar coordinates, and solve for r: r = 1345 ( cos θ ) 3 2 ( sin θ ) 3 2 ( cos θ ) 4 + ( sin θ ) 4 r=\frac{1345(\cos \theta)^\frac{3}{2} (\sin \theta)^\frac{3}{2}}{(\cos \theta)^4+(\sin \theta)^4}

Second, we will use the equation to find the area of a bounded region using polar coordinates which is 1 2 r 2 d θ \int \frac{1}{2} r^2 d\theta , our lower limit would be 0 and our upper limit would be π 2 \frac{\pi}{2}

When we find the integral we will get 134 5 2 2 ( 1 4 ( 1 + ( tan θ ) 4 ) ) . \frac{1345^2}{2} (\frac{-1}{4(1+(\tan \theta)^4)}). Now, when plugging in the lower and upper limits we will see that it is undefined, that is we will need to take lim θ π 2 134 5 2 2 ( 1 4 ( 1 + ( tan θ ) 4 ) ) \lim_{\theta \to \frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1345^2}{2} (\frac{-1}{4(1+(\tan \theta)^4)}) and as lim θ 0 134 5 2 2 ( 1 4 ( 1 + ( tan θ ) 4 ) ) . \lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{1345^2}{2} (\frac{-1}{4(1+(\tan \theta)^4)}). When θ \theta approaches π 2 \frac{\pi}{2} the limit would be 0, and when θ \theta aproaches 0 the limit would be 1.

Therefore, our solution would be 134 5 2 8 \frac{1345^2}{8} . Hence 1345 + 8 = 1353 1345 + 8 = 1353
