x = 6cos t sin t
y = 6cos^2 t
The curve is traced out once from 0 to pi
Let g = 6cost sint
Let f = 6cos^2 t
Let f ' = -12cost sint
So we have that
pi
absolute value of ∫ g * f ' dt =
0
pi
- 72 ∫ (cos^2 t) (sin^2 t) dt =
0
pi
- 72 ∫ (cos t * sin t)^2 dt =
0
pi
- 72 ∫ (sin^2t *cos^2t) dt =
0
Note ..... (sin^2 t * cos^2 t ) = [ 1 - cos (4t) ] / 8
pi
(- 72 / 8 ) ∫ 1 - cos(4t) dt =
0
pi
- 9 [ t + sin (4t)/4 ] =
0
-9 [ ( pi + 0 ) - ( 0 + 0) ] =
-9 pi
absolute value of this =
9pi units^2
This is a circle with a radius of 3 centered at (0, 3)
