Question 1 [10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 40 marks]
a). We can use the equation of a curve in polar coordinates to compute some areas bounded by such
curves. The basic approach is the same as with any application of integration: find an approximation that
approaches the true value. While doing some experiment, a class of mathematicians came up with a
figure with a polar region R , as shown in the figure below. Find the area A of the polar region R.

d). Use spherical coordinates to find the volume of the solid bounded below by the hemisphere
  1, z  0, and above by the cardioid of revolution   1  cos . Sketch the region using
Mathematica.

variables x  u 3 v 3
and y  u 3 v 3 to find the area of the region that is common to all.
b). While designing the ceiling of a building at USP, the Engineers had the height above the floor as

y  x 2 . The mathematics students at USP were overwhelmed by this and using the concepts learned in
class, decided to find the surface area of the wall for 0  x  40. Find the surface area of the wall?
