Please help me with these area under polar curve problems!!?
Find the area inside the polar curve r = 3cos(theta).
Find the area inside the polar curve r = 4 + 2sin(theta).
find the area inside the cardidoid r = 1 + cos(theta) and outside the circle r = 1.

Area = (1/2) ∫ r^2 dθ [ integrate from 0 to 2pi]
= (1/2) ∫ 9 cos^2(theta) dtheta
= (9/2) ∫ (1+cos(2theta))/2 dtheta
= (9/4) theta + (9/8) sin(2theta)
F(x) = (9/4) x +(9/8) sin (2x)
F(2pi) = 9pi/2
F(0) = 0
Area = 9pi/2
----------------------------------------------------
r = 4 + 2sin(theta)
Area = (1/2) ∫ r^2 dθ [ integrate from 0 to 2pi]
= (1/2) ∫ (16+ 16 sin(θ) + 4 sin^2(θ) ) dθ
= (1/2) ∫ (16+16 sin x + 4 sin^2x ) dx
= 8 ∫ dx + 8 ∫ sin x dx + 2 ∫ (1-cos (2x)) / 2 dx
= 8x -8 cos x + x - sin(2x) / 2
= 9x - 8 cos x - (1/2) sin 2x
Let F(x) = 9x - 8 cos x - (1/2) sin 2x
substitute the upper limit 2pi
F(2pi) = 18pi - 8
substitute the lower limit 0
F(0) = -8
Area = F(2pi)-F(0) = 18pi
-----------------------------------
1+cos(theta) = 1
cos(theta) = 0
theta = pi/2 , 3pi/2
theta = -pi/2 to pi/2
Area = (1/2) ∫ (1+cos(theta) )^2 dtheta - (1/2) ∫ 1^2 dtheta , each integral from theta=-pi/2 to pi/2
(1+cos(theta))^2 = 1+ 2 cos(theta) + cos^2(theta)
Use the identity cos^2(theta) = (1+cos(2theta) )/2 and integrate
Area = (8+pi)/4
