The curve C has the parametric equations
x=3cos2ty=3sint0≤t≤π4 x = 3 \cos 2t \quad y = 3 \sin t \quad 0 \leq t \leq \frac{\pi}{4} x=3cos2ty=3sint0≤t≤4πGraph of curve C in the first quadrant. The curve starts at (3,0)(3, 0)(3,0) and ends at (0,3)(0, 3)(0,3). It is a hump-shaped curve opening downwards, with its peak at (0,3)(0, 3)(0,3). The area under the curve between the xxx-axis and the curve is shaded with diagonal lines.
The finite region R between the curve C and the x x\,x axis.
The point P is where the curve meets the x x\,x axis. Find the coordinates of P.
Find dxdt\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt}dtdx.
Show that the area of R is given by the integral ∫0π436sin2tcost dt\displaystyle \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}} 36 \sin^2 t \cos t\,dt∫04π36sin2tcostdt
Hence find an exact value for the area
