HallsofIvy said:If x= sin t cos t and y= sin2 t, then x2+ y2= sin2cos2+ sin[sup4[/sup]= sin2 t(cos2 t+ sin2t)= sin2(t)= y so the equation, in Cartesian coordinates, is x2+ y2- y= 0. Complete the square and you can see that is a circle.
Green's Theorem is a mathematical principle that relates the line integral around a simple closed curve in the plane to a double integral over the region enclosed by the curve.
Green's Theorem is used to find the area by converting the double integral over the region into a line integral around the boundary of the region. This makes it easier to solve the integral and find the area.
The formula for solving Green's Theorem integrals is ∫∫R(∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y)dA = ∫CPdx + Qdy, where P and Q are functions of x and y, and C is the boundary of the region R.
Yes, Green's Theorem can only be used for finding the area of regions that are simple closed curves, meaning they do not intersect themselves and have a continuous boundary.
No, Green's Theorem is only applicable in two-dimensional space. In three-dimensional space, the equivalent theorem is called the Divergence Theorem, which relates a triple integral over a region to a surface integral over the boundary of the region.
