2 How can we set up \(dA\) in polar coordinates (Double integral)?

2.1 Front

How can we set up $dA$ in polar coordinates (Double integral)?

\(\dd{A}\)

Draw a sketch

2.2 Back

\(\dd{A} = r \dd{r} \dd{\theta}\)

The small curvy rectangle has sides \(\Delta r\) and \(r \Delta \theta\), thus its area satisfies \(\Delta A \approx (\Delta r)(r \Delta \theta)\). As usual, in the limit this become \(\dd{A} = r \dd{r} \dd{\theta}\)

3 How can we set up double integrals in polar coordinates?

3.1 Front

How can we set up double integrals in polar coordinates?

\({\displaystyle \iint_R f(x,y) \dd{A}}\)

3.2 Back

Need to put the equation in polar coordinates, also the limits of the region

  • \(x = r \cos \theta\)
  • \(y = r \sin \theta\)
  • \(\dd{A} = r \dd{r} \dd{\theta}\)
  • Hold \(\theta\) fixed, and let \(r\) increase (integrating with respect to \(r\)). It traces out a ray going out from the origin
  • Integrate from \(r\text{-value}\) where the ray enters \(R\) to the \(r\text{-value}\) where it leaves (Limits on \(r\))
  • Integrate from the lowest value of \(\theta\) for which the corresponding ray intersects \(R\) to the highest value of \(\theta\)

4 Why \(dA = r dr d\theta\) in double integrals in polar coordinates?

4.1 Front

Why $dA = r dr d\theta$ in double integrals in polar coordinates?

Why \(\dd{A} \neq \dd{r} \dd{\theta}\)?

4.2 Back

The angle of \(\dd{\theta}\) is at \(r=1\), so the side at any \(r\) is \(r \dd{\theta}\)

5 What represent this equation?

5.1 Front

What represent this equation?

\({\displaystyle x = \sqrt{2y -y^2}}\)

5.2 Back

It’s a circle which center is at point \((0,1)\)

  • \(x^2 = 2y - y^2\)
  • \(x^2 + y^2 - 2y=0\)
  • \(x^2 + (y - 1)^2 - 1 = 0\)
  • \(x^2 + (y-1)^2 = 1\)

Polar equation: \(r = 2 \sin \theta\)

6 What is the polar equation of the vertical line \(x = 2\)

6.1 Front

What is the polar equation of the vertical line $x = 2$

\(x = 2\)

6.2 Back

From the origin, we track out a ray with angle \(\theta\). It’s form a right triangle, which hypotenuse is \(r\) and lower side is \(x\).

\(r \cos \theta = 2 \implies r = \frac{2}{\cos \theta} = 2 \sec \theta\)

Similar for horizontal line \(y = y_0\)
