a new one...shouldn't be too hard:p
Feel free to share your attempt.

Find the area bounded by x-axis and the curve

Not sure if this is still active but I'll give this a go for fun (let me know if I've made any mistakes or there is an easier way). The x-ints are
Using the corrected identity (Thanks to vernburn for showing that there is a factor of a half):

where E is an even function and O is an odd function. The integral simplifies:







Let and
where




where

So

Your approach is correct but unfortunately a factor of 1/2 is missing somewhere.

another one

Feel free to share your attempt.
Using the identity:









For the second integral, let





and which can be found quite easily using two applications of integration by parts . Now using IBP on the main integral: hence



using the previous results







Using the fact that sine is odd and cosine is even.

Now for the first integral letting gives identical bounds hence

So in total:

Wow that was a long one, unfortunately didn't get it out as I'm off by a bit, can anyone see my error?

I did this a slightly different way:



You will notice this is in the form , yielding:

I thought I had gotten it wrong at first because it differed from @Randomstudent123 's answer but I checked on Desmos and the graphs differ by and so it is indeed correct.

This is my first attempt but the answer‘s slightly off. On the line marked , if the denominator is instead of then I think the final answer is correct but I can’t find the missing negative.
I dont think you converted from theta to x correctly. Shouldn't , you did the reciprocal I think. Other than that you got it right.

Yes well done guess it was too easy Try:

Also @Qeru pls post more I was SOOOO close to getting . I used the right sub but my mind just died when I got to the part right before u-sub. I did the right u-sub as well I just did a dumb mistake with the differentials as its weird to work with and
