初始线对应 θ=0。把 θ=0 代入极坐标方程即可。

At the initial line, θ=0. Therefore
r===6(1+cos0)6(1+1)12
So the polar coordinates of A are
(12,0)

切线平行于 initial line,也就是水平切线。极坐标中 y=rsinθ,水平切线需要 dθdy=0。

Since the tangent at B is parallel to the initial line,
dθdy=0
Now
y====rsinθ6(1+cosθ)sinθ6sinθ+6sinθcosθ6sinθ+3sin2θ
Differentiate:
dθdy=6cosθ+6cos2θ
Set this equal to zero:
6cosθ+6cos2θ=cosθ+cos2θ=cosθ+(2cos2θ−1)=2cos2θ+cosθ−1=(2cosθ−1)(cosθ+1)=00000
So
cosθ=21orcosθ=−1
The point B is the horizontal tangent above the initial line, so
θ=3π
Then
r===6(1+cos3π)6(1+21)9
Therefore
B=(9,3π)

阴影区域可以看作外面的梯形 OAPB 减去曲线从 θ=0 到 θ=3π 扫出的极坐标面积。这里 P 是两条切线的交点。题目要求 algebraic integration,所以极坐标面积要完整积分。

From part (b),
B=(9,3π)
The Cartesian coordinates of B are
xB=yB=9cos3π=299sin3π=293
The tangent l1 is horizontal, so
l1:y=293
The tangent l2 at A is vertical, so
l2:x=12
Hence the intersection P of the two tangents is
P=(12,293)
The top horizontal length is
BP==12−29215
So the area of trapezium OAPB is
AreaOAPB===21(12+215)(293)21⋅239⋅29383513
Now find the polar area under C from θ=0 to θ=3π:
Areasector=====21∫03πr2dθ21∫03π36(1+cosθ)2dθ18∫03π(1+2cosθ+cos2θ)dθ18∫03π(1+2cosθ+21+cos2θ)dθ18∫03π(23+2cosθ+21cos2θ)dθ
Integrating,
Areasector=====18[23θ+2sinθ+41sin2θ]03π18(2π+2⋅23+41⋅23)18(2π+3+83)18(2π+893)9π+4813
Therefore the required area is
AreaR====AreaOAPB−Areasector83513−(9π+4813)83513−9π−8162381893−9π
Thus
p=8189,q=−9
