Homework Statement


x(t) = 6cos(t)−cos(6t) y(t) = 6sin(t)−sin(6t) 0 <= t <= 2*pi
I need to find the area cm2 with Th Green.

I need to find the radius and the center coordinate

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


$ = integral
1/2* ( 2*pi$0 ((x)dy - (y)dx) dt )

1/2 (2*pi$0 ((6cos(t)−cos(6t)*6cos(t)−6cos(6t) - (6sin(t)−sin(6t)*6sin(t)−6*sin(6t)) dt)

= 42*pi

How do I find the center? is it (0,0)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The center should be (0,0). This can be shown rather clearly by saying that
##x_1(t)=6 \cos (t)\quad y_1(t) =6\sin(t)## is a circle centered at (0,0),
and so is ##x_2(t)=\cos (6t)\quad y_2(t) =\sin(6t)##.

I am finding it difficult to read your work. Please work with Tex if you can.
If I can read it, it should say:
## \text{Area} = \frac12 \int_0^{2\pi} \left( 6 \cos (t)-\cos (6t) \right) \left( 6 \cos (t)-6\cos (6t) \right) - \left( 6\sin(t)-\sin(6t) \right) \left( - 6\sin(t) + 6\sin(6t) \right) \, dt ##
Which gives 42pi.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
