Download

In this worksheet, we will practice using 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.

  • A3𝑡+322𝑡+𝑐sin
  • B−3𝑡+122𝑡+𝑐sin
  • C−3𝑡−322𝑡+𝑐sin
  • D−6𝑡+322𝑡+𝑐sin
  • E−3𝑡+322𝑡+𝑐sin

Find the area under the curve when 0≤𝑡≤𝜋.

  • A𝜋
  • B2𝜋
  • C3𝜋
  • D𝜋3
  • E6𝜋

Now, by taking 0≤𝑡≤2𝜋, find the total area inside the curve.

  • A6𝜋
  • B2𝜋
  • C3𝜋
  • D𝜋3
  • E𝜋

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.

Q4:

Determine the area trapped between the 𝑥-axis and the parametric curve defined by the equations 𝑥=𝑡−2 and 𝑦=𝑡 on the interval [0,2].
