Question #5 (medium): area inside two polar curves. First the point of intersection need to be determined by setting the two polar equations equal to each other. Then based on the symmetry the integral can be simplified. Based on the graph, detect which polar equation sets the area that lies within both curves. Then use that polar equation to determine te area base on . Find the area of the region that lies inside both polar curves. First the points of intersection need to be determined by setting the two polar equations equal to each other: . Then 4 can be dropped from both sides, then divided by 3 on both sides. But since the graph is symmetrical in both x-axis and y-axis direction, only a quarter can be set using integral then multiplied by 4. Since it is the area that lies inside both curves, it is then upto the point of intersection.
