切线 perpendicular to the initial line,就是切线竖直。极坐标中
x=rcosθ.
竖直切线对应 dθdx=0。这里 r=1+sinθ,所以先对 x=(1+sinθ)cosθ 求导。

For the curve
r=1+sinθ,
we have
x==rcosθ(1+sinθ)cosθ.
Differentiate:
===dθdxcosθcosθ−(1+sinθ)sinθcos2θ−sinθ−sin2θcos2θ−sinθ.
For a tangent perpendicular to the initial line,
dθdx=0.
So
cos2θ−sinθ−sin2θ=0.
Use cos2θ=1−sin2θ:
==1−sin2θ−sinθ−sin2θ0,1−sinθ−2sin2θ0.
Therefore
2sin2θ+sinθ−1=0.
Factorise:
=(2sinθ−1)×(sinθ+1)0.
Hence
sinθ=or sinθ=21−1.
Since
−2π<θ⩽2π,
the value sinθ=−1 would give θ=−2π, which is not in the domain. Therefore
θ=6π.
Then
r=1+sin6π=23.
So the polar coordinates of P are
(23,6π).

先把 P 和 Q 的 Cartesian coordinates 找出来。Q 在 θ=2π,所以 Q=(0,2)。P 的竖直切线与 Q 的水平切线相交于 S。
记梯形 OQSP 的面积为 AT,极坐标扇形 OQP 的面积为 AS,所求区域 R 的面积为 AR,则
AR=AT−AS.
其中极坐标扇形面积用
21∫r2dθ.
答题过程

From part (a),
P=(23,6π)
in polar coordinates. In Cartesian coordinates,
xP=23cos6π=433,
and
yP=23sin6π=43.
So
P=(433,43).
At Q, θ=2π, so
r=1+sin2π=2.
Hence
Q=(0,2).
The tangent at Q is horizontal and the tangent at P is vertical, so
S=(433,2).
Let AT be the area of trapezium OQSP. Then
AT===21[2+(2−43)]×43321(413)×43332393.
Let AS be the area of polar sector OQP. Then
AS==21∫6π2πr2dθ21∫6π2π(1+sinθ)2dθ.
Expand the integrand:
=(1+sinθ)21+2sinθ+sin2θ.
Use
sin2θ=21−21cos2θ.
Then
==(1+sinθ)21+2sinθ+21−21cos2θ23+2sinθ−21cos2θ.
So
==∫(1+sinθ)2dθ∫23dθ+2∫sinθdθ−21∫cos2θdθ23θ−2cosθ−41sin2θ+C.
Define
F(θ)=23θ−2cosθ−41sin2θ.
Applying the limits,
AS=21[F(θ)]6π2π.
At θ=2π,
F(2π)==23(2π)−2cos2π−41sinπ43π.
At θ=6π,
F(6π)===4π−2(23)−41(23)4π−3−834π−893.
Therefore
AS===21[43π−(4π−893)]21(2π+893)4π+1693.
Hence the area AR of R is
AR====AT−AS32393−(4π+1693)32393−328π−3218332213−8π.
Thus
a=21,b=−8.
