Homework Statement


Find area between the polar graphr= \theta and r=2\theta
from 0 \leq \theta \leq 2\pi.

Homework Equations


Area = \frac{1}{2} \int r^2 \theta


3. The solution

Area = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^2 (2 \theta)^2 d\theta - \frac{1}{2} \int_0^2 \theta^2 d\theta

final answer 4\pi^3 or 124.025

check please as soon as possible, only have to say right or wrong!

I put the data to mathematica by using the integrals you wrote and i got 1.0472. I don't understand how you derived the integral and what exactly you ask. Please re write the question so we can understand better what you want.
 
looks wrong,

for a polar area your integral should be:
\frac{1}{2}\int_{a}^{b}r^2 d\theta

also your a/b seem wrong, it should be 0 and 2pi but you have 0 and 2
 
sorry i type some error, I edit the question above!
check again!
 
is from 0 to 2pi for the integrals
 
According to your integrals and to your latest corrections the value you get is correct. I double checked with mathematica and the answer is ok.
 
yep that answer seems correct now
 
Thanks!
