IAL 2021 Jan Paper · Question 7

Figure 1

Figure 1 shows a sketch of curve CC with polar equation

r=3sin2θ0θπ2\begin{align*} r = 3\sin 2\theta \qquad 0 \leqslant \theta \leqslant \frac{\pi}{2} \end{align*}

The point PP on CC has polar coordinates (R,ϕ)(R,\phi). The tangent to CC at PP is perpendicular to the initial line.

(a) Show that tanϕ=12\tan\phi = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

(4)

(b) Determine the exact value of RR.

(2)

The region SS, shown shaded in Figure 1, is bounded by CC and the line OPOP, where OO is the pole.

(c) Use calculus to show that the exact area of SS is

parctan12+q2\begin{align*} p\arctan\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} + q\sqrt{2} \end{align*}

where pp and qq are constants to be determined.

Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
