Find Area with Theorem of Green - center - radius

In summary, the conversation was about finding the area in square cm given the equations x(t) = 6cos(t)−cos(6t) and y(t) = 6sin(t)−sin(6t) for 0 <= t <= 2*pi. The solution involved using the formula for area given by 1/2*integral of (x(t)y'(t) - y(t)x'(t))dt and resulted in an area of 42*pi. The center coordinate is expected to be (0,0).

Homework Statement


x(t) = 6cos(t)−cos(6t) y(t) = 6sin(t)−sin(6t) 0 <= t <= 2*pi
I need to find the area cm2 with Th Green.

I need to find the radius and the center coordinate

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


$ = integral
1/2* ( 2*pi$0 ((x)dy - (y)dx) dt )

1/2 (2*pi$0 ((6cos(t)−cos(6t)*6cos(t)−6cos(6t) - (6sin(t)−sin(6t)*6sin(t)−6*sin(6t)) dt)

= 42*pi

How do I find the center? is it (0,0)?

The center should be (0,0). This can be shown rather clearly by saying that
##x_1(t)=6 \cos (t)\quad y_1(t) =6\sin(t)## is a circle centered at (0,0),
and so is ##x_2(t)=\cos (6t)\quad y_2(t) =\sin(6t)##.

I am finding it difficult to read your work. Please work with Tex if you can.
If I can read it, it should say:
## \text{Area} = \frac12 \int_0^{2\pi} \left( 6 \cos (t)-\cos (6t) \right) \left( 6 \cos (t)-6\cos (6t) \right) - \left( 6\sin(t)-\sin(6t) \right) \left( - 6\sin(t) + 6\sin(6t) \right) \, dt ##
Which gives 42pi.
 

Related to Find Area with Theorem of Green - center - radius

1. What is the Theorem of Green for finding area?

The Theorem of Green is a mathematical principle that relates the area of a region in the plane to the line integral of a specific vector field around the boundary of the region. This theorem is commonly used in multivariable calculus and is named after mathematician George Green.

2. How does the Theorem of Green work?

The Theorem of Green states that the area of a region D in the plane can be calculated by evaluating the line integral of a specific vector field F(x,y) around the boundary of the region. This can be written as:

Area(D) = ∫∫D (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y) dA = ∫C P dx + Q dy

where P and Q are the two components of the vector field F, and C is the boundary curve of the region D.

3. What is the center and radius method for using the Theorem of Green?

The center and radius method is a technique for applying the Theorem of Green to find the area of a region. It involves finding the center and radius of the region, and then using these values to rewrite the line integral in polar coordinates. This simplifies the calculation of the line integral and allows for an easier evaluation of the area.

4. How do you find the center and radius of a region for the Theorem of Green?

To find the center and radius of a region, you can use the formula:

x0 = (1/A) ∫∫D x dA
y0 = (1/A) ∫∫D y dA
r0 = √(1/A) ∫∫D (x2 + y2) dA

where A is the area of the region D. These values can then be used to rewrite the line integral in polar coordinates for the Theorem of Green.

5. What are some real-world applications of the Theorem of Green?

The Theorem of Green has various applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. It is commonly used to calculate the area of irregularly shaped regions, such as in determining the area of a lake or a country on a map. It is also used in fluid dynamics to calculate fluid flow through a given region, and in electromagnetism to calculate the electric and magnetic fields around a region. Additionally, it has applications in optimization problems, where the goal is to find the maximum or minimum value of a certain quantity within a given region.
