In this lesson, we will learn how to use integration to find the area under a curve defined by parametric functions.
Q1:
Consider the curve defined by the parametric equations 𝑥=2𝑡cos and 𝑦=3𝑡sin.
Find −6𝑡𝑡sind.
Find the area under the curve when 0≤𝑡≤𝜋.
Now, by taking 0≤𝑡≤2𝜋, find the total area inside the curve.
Q2:
Consider the curve defined by the parametric equations 𝑥=𝑝 and 𝑦=4−𝑝.
Find the area under the curve where 0≤𝑝≤1.
Find the area under the curve where 0≤𝑝≤2.
Q3:
Determine the area trapped between the 𝑥-axis and the curve with parametric equations 𝑥=𝑡 and 𝑦=𝑒 on the interval [0,1]. Approximate your answer to the nearest one decimal place.
