切线平行于 initial line 表示水平切线。极坐标中先写
y=rsinθ.
然后令 dθdy=0。

Since
r=1−sinθ,
we have
y===rsinθ(1−sinθ)sinθsinθ−sin2θ.
Differentiate:
dθdy==cosθ−2sinθcosθcosθ(1−2sinθ).
At P, the tangent is parallel to the initial line, so
dθdy=0.
Since 0⩽θ<2π, cosθ=0 at P. Hence
1−2sinθ=sinθ=θ=0216π.
Then
r===1−sin6π1−2121.
Therefore
P=(21,6π).

区域 R 可以看成两部分:
从 θ=0 到 θ=6π 的极坐标面积,加上点 P 到 y 轴形成的小三角形面积。
点 P 的直角坐标是
(43,41).

From part (a),
P=(21,6π).
The Cartesian coordinates of P are
xP=yP=21cos6π=43,21sin6π=41.
The triangular part has area
21xPyP==21⋅43⋅41323.
Now calculate the polar area from θ=0 to θ=6π:
S==21∫06π(1−sinθ)2dθ21∫06π(1−2sinθ+sin2θ)dθ.
Using
sin2θ=21−cos2θ,
the polar area is
S===21[23θ+2cosθ−41sin2θ]06π21(4π+3−83−2)8π+1673−1.
Therefore the area of R is
323+(8π+1673−1)==324π+323+32143−3232321(4π+153−32).
Hence
a=4,b=15,c=−32.

也可以先求曲线在 0⩽θ<π/2 内的整个极坐标面积,再加上曲线与水平切线之间的补区域。补区域等于顶点为 O、P 和切线与竖轴交点的小三角形,减去 π/6 到 π/2 的极坐标面积。
答题过程

From part (a), the Cartesian coordinates of P are
xP=21cos6π=43,yP=21sin6π=41.
The triangle formed by O, P and the intersection of the tangent with the vertical axis has area
T=21xPyP=323.
For the polar area, use
(1−sinθ)2==1−2sinθ+21−cos2θ23−2sinθ−21cos2θ.
An antiderivative is
F(θ)=23θ+2cosθ−41sin2θ.
The whole polar area is
S====21∫0π/2(1−sinθ)2dθ21(F(π/2)−F(0))21(43π−2)83π−1.
The polar area between θ=π/6 and θ=π/2 is
U====21∫π/6π/2(1−sinθ)2dθ21(F(π/2)−F(π/6))21(43π−4π−3+83)4π−1673.
Thus the area above the curve and below the horizontal tangent is
T−U==323−(4π−1673)32153−4π.
Therefore
Area(R)===S+(T−U)83π−1+32153−4π321(4π+153−32).
Hence a=4,b=15,c=−32.
