Hi guys, I'm a High School student seeking help. The regular physics help forum suspended my IP address from logging on for some reason, so no matter how many accounts I make, it won't let me sign in.

Okay, so my question is: given the picture below, how can I find the area below the graph (in the shaded region) ? It's for a lab that I did in class, but it wasn't until i finished the whole picture that i realized that I didn't know how to calculate the area of this graph.

Thanks.

Thread 'Family of lines that are at a distance of 5 from the origin'

I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
