解答
(a)
For a parametric curve, the area under the curve is
∫ydtdxdt
Here
x=3t2
so
dtdx=6t
Also,
y=sintsin2t
Using
sin2t=2sintcost
we get
y=2sin2tcost
Therefore the area of R is
∫02πydtdxdt=∫02π(2sin2tcost)(6t)dt=12∫02πtsin2tcostdt
Hence
k=12
(b)
From part (a), the area is
12∫02πtsin2tcostdt
Use integration by parts with
u=t,dtdv=sin2tcost
Then
dtdu=1,v=31sin3t
So
∫tsin2tcostdt=31tsin3t−31∫sin3tdt
Therefore the area is
Area=[4tsin3t]02π−4∫02πsin3tdt
Now
sin3t=sint(1−cos2t)
So
∫sin3tdt=∫sint(1−cos2t)dt=∫sintdt−∫sintcos2tdt=−cost+31cos3t
Thus
Area=[4tsin3t+4cost−34cos3t]02π
Apply the limits:
Area=(4⋅2π⋅1+4⋅0−34⋅0)−(0+4⋅1−34⋅1)=2π−(4−34)=2π−38
Therefore the exact area is
2π−38
