First, we will covert the cartesian equation to polar coordinates, and solve for r: r = ( cos θ ) 4 + ( sin θ ) 4 1 3 4 5 ( cos θ ) 2 3 ( sin θ ) 2 3
Second, we will use the equation to find the area of a bounded region using polar coordinates which is ∫ 2 1 r 2 d θ , our lower limit would be 0 and our upper limit would be 2 π
When we find the integral we will get 2 1 3 4 5 2 ( 4 ( 1 + ( tan θ ) 4 ) − 1 ) . 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 → 2 π 2 1 3 4 5 2 ( 4 ( 1 + ( tan θ ) 4 ) − 1 ) and as lim θ → 0 2 1 3 4 5 2 ( 4 ( 1 + ( tan θ ) 4 ) − 1 ) . When θ approaches 2 π the limit would be 0, and when θ aproaches 0 the limit would be 1.
Therefore, our solution would be 8 1 3 4 5 2 . Hence 1 3 4 5 + 8 = 1 3 5 3
