Homework Statement
Calculate the area of the region within x3 + y3 = 3xy. It can be parametrized by \gamma:[0,\infty] \rightarrow R2 with \gamma=<3t/1+t3, 3t2/1+t3>.
Homework Equations
Area = 1/2 \intx*dy - y*dx
The Attempt at a Solution
My plan is to take the curve parametrized by \gamma=<3t/1+t3, 3t2/1+t3> and use the parametric equations as x = 3t/1+t3 and y = 3t2/1+t3. Then i simply just use the equation for area given by Green's Theorem Area = 1/2 \intx*dy - y*dx and compute the integral. Can anyone confirm if this is right or am I way off?
