What is the Integration Formula for a Polar Circle?

In summary, the formula for polar integration of a circle is ∫<sub>0</sub><sup>2π</sup> r<sup>2</sup> dθ, it differs from regular integration by integrating along the angle θ, it is used to find the area and volume of circles, the radius is represented by r in polar coordinates, and it has limitations such as only being applicable to circles with a center at the origin and a constant radius.

Hi,

I'm not sure how to integrate this equation

where a, r0 and γ are constants.

I would simply try u-substitution. Give it a go and see how it works out.

Adding to Marnemath, set "u" equal to the radicand.

FAQ: What is the Integration Formula for a Polar Circle?

What is the formula for polar integration of a circle?

The formula for polar integration of a circle is ∫0 r2 dθ, where r is the radius of the circle.

How is polar integration of a circle different from regular integration?

Polar integration of a circle involves integrating along the angle θ instead of the x or y-axis. This means that the limits of integration are 0 and 2π instead of a range of x or y values.

What is the purpose of polar integration of a circle?

Polar integration of a circle is used to find the area enclosed by a circle with a given radius. It can also be used to find the volume of a solid of revolution when the cross section is a circle.

How is the radius of the circle represented in polar coordinates?

In polar coordinates, the radius of a circle is represented by the variable r. This is different from Cartesian coordinates where the radius is represented by x or y.

Are there any limitations to using polar integration of a circle?

One limitation of polar integration of a circle is that it can only be used for circles with a center at the origin. It also cannot be used for circles with a non-constant radius or for circles that do not have a closed form equation.
