AP Calculus BC: Question (3)

[image]

The figure above shows the graphs of the line x = (5/3) y and the curve C given by x = sqrt( 1+y*y). Let S be the shaded region bounded by the two graphs and the x-axis. The line and the curve intersect at point P.

(a) Find the coordinates of the point P and the value of dx/dy for the curve C at point P.

-Find the point of intersection

(1.25, .75)

- Find the slope of the curve at (1.25, .75)

(b) Set up and evaluate an integral expression with respect to y that gives the area of S.

(c) Curve C is a part of the curve [image]. Show that [image]can be written as the polar equation [image].

x = r * cos() x2 - y2 = 1
y = r * sin() (r * cos())2 - (r * cos())2 = 1
r2cos()2 - r2sin()2 = 1
r2( cos()2 - sin()2 ) = 1

(d) Use the polar equation in part (c) to set up an integral with respect to the polar angle THETA that represents the area of S
