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:
21∫06π(1−sinθ)2dθ=21∫06π(1−2sinθ+sin2θ)dθ.
Using
sin2θ=21−cos2θ,
the polar area is
21∫06π(23−2sinθ−21cos2θ)dθ===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.
