Quick question about finding area for polar coordinates

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around finding the area of a region defined by the polar equation r = sqrt(θ). The original poster (OP) struggled to determine the correct limits of integration, initially trying 0 and 2π, which yielded incorrect results. Other participants clarified that the appropriate limits are from 3π/2 to 2π. The correct area calculation involves integrating 1/2 * r^2 with these limits, leading to the final answer involving logarithmic expressions. The OP confirmed their understanding and thanked the contributors for their assistance.

Lol, honestly I am new to this forum, so I wasn't even familiar with LaTeX :P. Next time, I'll be sure to use it tho.
Hi BWJ,
Even though LaTeX is great for writing out maths, it certainly wasn't necessary for your question.

Did you get your answer to be...
\frac{7}{16}\pi^2

Heh. At least something positive came out of it, and it'll get oay off my back.
Off my back? Have I offended you?

No probs. Mathematicians always argue. But it's always me who is right.
