 31. In polar coordinates, the function 
r =  1
2-cos( q)
is an ellipse with one focus at the origin.  Explain why this ellipse has a parametrization of
r( q) =
 cos( q)
2-cos( q)
,  sin( q)
2-cos( q)
for q in [ 0,2p] and then find its area.

32. Repeat exercise 31 with the general form of an ellipse in polar coordinates
r =  p
1-ecos( q)
where p > 0 and | e| < 1.

33. Set up the area integral for the region R inside the ellipse
r( q) =
 cos( q)
2-cos( q)
,  sin( q)
2-cos( q)
for q in [ 0,2p] and outside the circle centered at the origin with radius 0.1. What is the area of R?

34. Use (1) or (2) to evaluate

36. Show that if f( x,y) satisfies Laplace's equation,
 2f
x2

on a simply-connected region R, then for all closed curves C in R we have


C 
( fydx-fxdy) = 0
(Conversely, it can be shown that if the line integral above is 0 for any closed curve C, then f satisfies Laplace's equation).

37. Show that the coordinates of the centroid of a simply connected region R are given by

where A is the area of R.

38. Use the result in exercise 37 to find the centroid of the region in example 4, in which the region is inside the curve r( t) = á t4-t2,t6-t2 ñ , t in [0,1] . (You might also want to find the centroids of some of the region enclosed by the curves in exercises 121-30).

In addition, interpret the result and what it says about the curl of a 2-dimensional vector field.

40. Write to Learn: Let R be a triangle with vertices (x1,y1) , ( x2,y2) , and (x3,y3) . Apply each of the results in theorem 2 to find three different formulas for finding the area of a triangle given the coordinates of its vertices. Explain your results in a short essay and apply each result to the triangle with vertices ( 1,2) , ( 7,1) , and ( 5,4) , respectively.
