Hi guys I am very new here this is my second post. (sorry in advance i don't know how to use the functions of the site fully yet)

i think this is the correct method to follow, some feedback or hints would be great thanks in advance!

1. Homework Statement

Find the area bounded by where 0≤theta≤pie

r=1/√(1+theta)

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


(∫ dtheta ) (∫rdr)

bounds of integration ∫dtheta from o to pie

bounds of integration ∫rdr from 0 to r=1/√(1+theta)

Good start, now you just need to perform the integrals.

im more worried about the method, we are suppose to use double integrals, but i got confused over the graph of this function. I checked it in wolfram and it was looping in it self, that is why i don't know if the integrals are set up correctly or not.
any tips regarding the set up of the integral it self?
 
You already did. Naturally, if you give the radius as a function of an angle, you will get some sort of loop or spiral unless you bound the argument. In your case it is bounded to be between 0 and π.

thank you very much, it was very helpful of you
 
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...
