Hey guys, how are you? I was studying for my calculus final and stumbled upon a peculiar function. Now I have to find the area bounded by the function (x^2+y^2)^3=xy^4 using a double integral. Now, the problem is that the graph is totally unknown to me (I have some ideas but I am not shure). A substitution with u and v, doesn't seem to work and going to polar doesn't work either :/ Maybe I am doing something wrong, I don't know. Can anybody help me? Thank you in advance :)
