Find the area in the first quadrant bounded by the arc of the circle described by the polar equation r=2sin(theta)+4cos(theta).
okay i would use the formula dA=r^2 d(theta). Thats what i used is this correct? and when i use this i get: 4sin^2(theta)+16cos(theta)sin(theta)+16cos^2 (theta). The next step would be to integrate right? But when I Integrate this... is there a way i can put the 4 from 4sin^2 (theta) to the left of the integration sign. like in an example r^2/2 the 1/2 is put to the left of the integration symbol and r^2 is integrated (is this making sense to whoever is reading this). well any way is there a way to put the whole numbers like the 4,16,16 to the left of the integration? if not maybe someone can help me do it there way? please i really need this question. please show some steps. i just really want to understand how to be able to integrate!! thanks i know that was long!! i really appreciate everyone's response!!!!=D
