SUMMARY

The discussion centers on evaluating the double integral $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}} \int_{0}^{\sec{\theta}} 6r^{3} dr d\theta$ and sketching the corresponding region of integration. The correct limits of integration are confirmed to be from 0 to $\frac{\pi}{6}$, rather than from 6 to $\frac{\pi}{6}$. Users are guided on how to utilize Desmos for graphing polar coordinates by enabling the polar grid option.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double integrals in polar coordinates
  • Familiarity with the function $\sec{\theta}$

$\textsf{a. Sketch the region of integration and evaluate.}\\$
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
\int_{6}^{\frac{\pi}{6}}
\int_{0}^{\sec{\theta}}
6r^{3} drd\theta\\
W|A=\frac{5}{3\sqrt{3}}
\end{align*}
OK I really didn't know how to do this in desmos

So your question is just about how to graph this using "Desmos"? First, to get to polar coordinates, click on the "wrench" icon in the upper right of the page, just below the menu bar. That opens a dialog box that has "Grid", "Axis Numbers", "X-Axis", and "Y-Axis" checked. Right below "Grid" are two circles, one with a rectangular pattern, the other with radii and circles. Click on the second to get a polar coordinate grid. There is no way to graph \theta= \pi/6 in Desmos since all function have to be functions of r but it is easy to see that it is a radial line.

Is the integral really from 6 to \pi/6? Are you sure it is not from 0 to \pi/6? That would make much more sense.

yes sorry it should be $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{6}}$
