Problem Statement

Consider the curve CC given in polar coordinates byr=2+cosθ(0θ2π),r = 2 + \cos\theta \qquad (0 \le \theta \le 2\pi),with the origin OO as the pole and the positive xx–axis as the initial line.

  • [(1)] Compute the area of the region enclosed by the curve CC.
  • [(2)] At the point (r,θ)=(4+22,π4), (r,\theta)=\left(\frac{4+\sqrt{2}}{2},\,\frac{\pi}{4}\right), find the slope of the tangent line to the curve CC in the xyxy–coordinate plane. Let aa be the value obtained in part (1). Express the answer from part (2) in the formb+c,b + \sqrt{c},where bb and cc are integers, and let those integers be the definitions of bb and cc. Using these values of aa, bb, and cc, computeabcπ.\frac{abc}{\pi}.\

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] Compute (1) the enclosed area using the polar area formula a = (1/2)∫_0^{2π} r^2 dθ with r=2+cosθ. Compute (2) slope dy/dx at θ=π/4 via dy/dx = (r' sinθ + r cosθ)/(r' cosθ - r sinθ), where r' = dr/dθ = -sinθ. Then write the slope in the form b + sqrt(c) with integers b,c, and compute abc/π. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

theta = sp.symbols('theta', real=True) r = 2 + sp.cos(theta)

Part (1): area

a = sp.simplify(sp.Rational(1,2) * sp.integrate(r**2, (theta, 0, 2*sp.pi))) print("a (area) =", a)

Part (2): slope dy/dx in xy-plane for polar curve

rp = sp.diff(r, theta) expr_slope = sp.simplify((rpsp.sin(theta) + rsp.cos(theta)) / (rpsp.cos(theta) - rsp.sin(theta))) slope_at = sp.simplify(expr_slope.subs(theta, sp.pi/4)) print("slope at theta=pi/4 =", slope_at)

Put slope in form b + sqrt(c) with integers b,c

For this problem, slope should be of the form p + q*sqrt(2).

p = sp.nsimplify(slope_at, [sp.sqrt(2)]) print("nsimplify slope =", p)

Extract b and c assuming it is b + sqrt(c) (i.e., coefficient of sqrt is 1)

First rewrite as b + sqrt(c) directly

b = sp.Integer(sp.simplify(sp.expand(p).as_independent(sp.sqrt(2))[0])) coeff_sqrt2 = sp.simplify(sp.expand(p).coeff(sp.sqrt(2))) print("b =", b, "coeff_sqrt2 =", coeff_sqrt2)

If coeff_sqrt2 == 1, then sqrt(c)=sqrt(2) => c=2

c = None if sp.simplify(coeff_sqrt2 - 1) == 0: c = 2 else: # fallback: if slope is b + ksqrt(2), then interpret sqrt(c)=ksqrt(2)=sqrt(2k^2) c = sp.simplify(2coeff_sqrt2**2) print("c =", c)

val = sp.simplify(a * b * c / sp.pi) print("abc/pi =", val) print("abc/pi as integer? ->", sp.Integer(val) if val.is_integer() else val) [/PYTHON]

Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] The previous Python run errored due to calling the SymPy boolean property is_integer as a function. I will rerun with corrected code to obtain a, the slope, determine b and c, and then compute abc/pi. [/THOUGHT] [PYTHON] import sympy as sp

theta = sp.symbols('theta', real=True) r = 2 + sp.cos(theta)

Part (1): area enclosed

a = sp.simplify(sp.Rational(1,2) * sp.integrate(r**2, (theta, 0, 2*sp.pi))) print("a =", a)

Part (2): slope dy/dx for polar curve

rp = sp.diff(r, theta) slope = sp.simplify((rpsp.sin(theta) + rsp.cos(theta)) / (rpsp.cos(theta) - rsp.sin(theta))) slope_at = sp.simplify(sp.together(slope.subs(theta, sp.pi/4))) print("slope_at =", slope_at)

express slope in form b + sqrt(c)

First, express in terms of sqrt(2)

slope_ns = sp.nsimplify(slope_at, [sp.sqrt(2)]) print("slope_ns =", slope_ns)

Extract coefficient of sqrt(2)

B, K = sp.expand(slope_ns).as_independent(sp.sqrt(2)) B = sp.Integer(B) K = sp.simplify(K/sp.sqrt(2)) # so slope = B + K*sqrt(2) print("B =", B, "K =", K)

Need slope = b + sqrt(c) with integer b,c.

If K is 1, then c=2.

If K is -1, then rewrite as b - sqrt(2) not allowed; but problem states b+sqrt(c), so expect K=1.

If K is rational, then Ksqrt(2) = sqrt(2K^2) when K>0 and K^2 integer/half-integer; handle generally.

if sp.simplify(K-1) == 0: b = B c = 2 else: # represent Ksqrt(2) as sqrt(c) if possible with integer c c_candidate = sp.simplify(2K**2) if c_candidate.is_integer and K.is_real: b = B c = int(c_candidate) # if K is negative, absorb sign into b? can't; but assume not. else: b = B c = c_candidate print("b =", b, "c =", c)

val = sp.simplify(abc/sp.pi) print("abc/pi =", val) print("is integer property:", val.is_integer) if val.is_integer: print("integer value =", int(val)) else: print("not integer") [/PYTHON][THOUGHT] I will now provide the final boxed integer based on the computed values. [/THOUGHT] \boxed{108}

Tool Output
[PYTHON OUTPUT] a = 9*pi/2 slope_at = -2 + sqrt(2) slope_ns = -2 + sqrt(2) B = -2 K = 1 b = -2 c = 2 abc/pi = -18 is integer property: True integer value = -18 [/PYTHON OUTPUT]
Reasoning Process

[THOUGHT] From the Python output: (a=\frac{9\pi}{2}), slope (=-2+\sqrt{2}) so (b=-2), (c=2), and (\frac{abc}{\pi}=-18). [/THOUGHT] \boxed{-18}

Final Model Output
-18
