In this section we will discuss how to find the area between a parametric curve and the xaxis using only the parametric equations rather than eliminating the parameter and using standard calculus i techniques on the resulting algebraic equation. The area under the curve given by parametric equations x ft, y gt. We will also discuss finding the area between two polar curves. For example, take d to be a closed, bounded region whose boundary c is a simple closed c1 curve with counterclockwise orientation. Parametric equations and polar coordinates enable us to describe a great. Determine derivatives and equations of tangents for parametric curves.

This formula gives a positive result for a graph above the xaxis, and a negative result for a graph below the xaxis. For each problem, find the area of the region enclosed by the curves. Find the area enclosed by the ellipse x 2 cost, y 3 sint, 0.
In this paper, we investigate the area enclosed by a deltoid, an astroid and a fivecusped hypocycloid to derive a function for the area enclosed by a general hypocycloid. Calculate curvature and torsion directly from arbitrary parametric equations. Calculating area of a region bounded by a parametrized curve suppose we have a two dimensional region d to which greens theorem applies. Practice quiz area between curves 72 for each problem, find the area of the region enclosed by the curves. The area between a parametric curve and the xaxis can be. Let c be a parametric curve described by the parametric equations x f t, y gt. We can use the equation of a curve in polar coordinates to compute some areas bounded. Solving for y does not give you one but two functions y. Area using parametric equations parametric integral formula. The area between the xaxis and the graph of x xt, y yt and the xaxis is given by the definite integral below.
We leave the calculation of areas bounded by polar curves to chapter 15, where. The calculator will find the area between two curves, or just under one curve. The curve is symmetric about both the x and y axes. Calculus with parametric curves mathematics libretexts. This calculus 2 video tutorial explains how to find the area under a curve of a parametric function using definite integrals.
