Step1
This equation is a circle shifted one unit to the right, according to a rudimentary grasp of mathematics. Because I realized that visualizing this in polar can be tough, I detailed each step for people who want to hand-jam.
(x1)2+y2=1
(rcosθ1)2+r2sin2θ=1
(r2cos2θ2rcosθ+1)+1r2sin2θ=1
r2cos2θ+r2sin2θ=2rcosθ
x2+y2=2rcosθ
r2=2rcosθ
r=2cosθ
Step2
Again, knowing that this is the equation of a circle with radius 1 is helpful, but if that is not clear, you can convert to polar.
x2+y2=1
r2=1
r=1
Step3
Graphing this is simple and suggested for a better understanding of the integration limits. Make the necessary replacement and solve for theta to find your limits of integration for r.
1=2cosθ
cosθ=12
θ=π3,π3
Step 4
Our Region can now be defined.
R=(r,θ)1r2cosθ,π3θπ3
Step 5
Set up the integrals
π3π312cosθrdrdθ
Step 6
Integrate with respect to r and run
π3π312r212cosθdθ
Step 7
The power reduction formula is required at this step for further integration.
π3π32cos2θ12dθ
Step 8
You can double the integral and run from 0 to pi/3 using symmetry, but I'll show it without.
π3π32cos2θ+12dθ
Step 9
Use trig to find the values of the inputs
12sin2θ+12θ{π3}π3
Step10
I went into greater detail with the problem setup than I did with the integration because I believe that is where the most difficulty arises. Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this solution.
π3+32
Result: π3+32
