The curve C C\,C has the parametric equations
x=2sinty=3sin2t0≤t≤π2 x = 2 \sin t \quad y = 3 \sin 2t \quad 0 \leq t \leq \frac{\pi}{2} x=2sinty=3sin2t0≤t≤2π
A graph showing a shaded region R in the first quadrant of a Cartesian coordinate system. The region R is bounded by the x-axis, the y-axis, and a curve that starts at the origin (0,0) and ends at a point on the x-axis. The curve is concave down, reaching a maximum y-value before returning to the x-axis. The x and y axes are labeled with arrows.
Show that the area of R R\,R is given by ∫0π212sintcos2tdt\displaystyle \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 12 \sin t \cos^2 t dt∫02π12sintcos2tdt
Hence show, by algebraic integration, that the area of R R\,R is exactly 4
