    As to why the integrant is (1/2)*r^2: When 'r' is a constant you get a perfect circle with theta going from 0 to 2Pi. This is the equivalent of an horizontal line in the traditional rectangular coordinates. In rectangular coordinates, when you define step functions (from above and below) you get an area of a rectangle for each partition. In polar coordinates when you define a step function you get the area of a circular segment which is equal (1/2) * (theta_k - theta_k-1) * r^2. Where 'r' stand for radius and 'theta_k - theta_k-1' is the angle size of a given partition 'k' in radians.

    The Jacobian or density correction factor required for integrating correctly over sets in non Cartesian coords can be calculated using the defn of the change of variables. Calculation gives dx dy = r dr d(-). From here, if we have r ranging from 0 to r((-)), then this becomes dx dy = ½r((-))² d(-) by integrating over r. Here, (-)=theta

The straightforward, analytical answer is that the area of a polar graph is always a double integral, the outer integral is the same as shown in the video, but the inner integral has bounds 0 to r, integrating over dr, times the Jacobian which is just the determinant of a matrix, and is r for polar co ordinates. Computing this inner integral (with those bounds) will always give you r^2 / 2.

    Could the final answer be 3π? First, we can cancel out the halfs since we have a factor of 2, and then, we can multiply the expression out to get 1 + 4cosθ + 4cos^2θ. Integrating this, we get 3θ + 4sinθ + sin2θ. If we evaluate this from 0 to π, we get the answer of 3π - everything else cancels out, given that whole-numbered multiples of π are the zeroes of the sine function.

    Pi is in the limits of integration. Very common for polar integrals, because we want a broad sweep across all possible values of theta, from 0 to 2*pi. After theta exceeds 2*pi, it becomes a redundant part of the function, so polar domains are commonly limited from theta = 0 to 2*pi.

    Think about it this way. When we use Riemann sums to establish integrals in general, we're slicing the function like it is a loaf of bread. We use the value of the function to tell us the size of each slice of bread, and then add up the slices to tell us the size of the total loaf. In polar coordinates, instead of slicing bread, we are slicing a pizza. Imagine a homemade pizza that isn't perfectly round, but has a radius that is a function of its theta-position. We find the area of each slice, by approximating it as a circular sector, and then add up the area of each slice. The area of a circular sector (a pizza slice) is 1/2*r^2*theta, where theta is its angle in radians and r is the radius. The infinitesimal pizza slice, has angle dtheta instead of theta, so the area element has area 1/2*r^2*dtheta.

    @@jmcwd It is. Although that's a half-truth, because the integral of 1/x is actually discontinuous at the vertical asymptote. For most practical applications, it's good enough, and we keep it simple as ln|x| + C. In the general case, the +C can be different on both sides of x=0, so it is more like ln|x| + C + D*u(x), where u(x) is the unit step function, and D is another arbitrary constant. There are very few (if any) applications where this matters. If we extend the domain to complex numbers, the integral of 1/z dz is the complex log of z + C. The complex log of z is the natural log of the magnitude of z, plus i*(theta + 2*pi*k), where k is any integer, and theta is the angle of the complex number z. So it becomes: integral 1/z dz = ln(|z|) + i*(arg(z) + 2*pi*k) + C. We have two arbitrary constants in this integral, the k because there are multiple branches of natural log, and C because it is an indefinite integral.

    You can do a limit proof on the power rule, to show why the integral of 1/x dx cannot be a standard polynomial, and instead is natural log. Let the exponent be -1 + h, such that the function is x^(-1 + h). The integral of a power function in general, of exponent n, is 1/(n + 1)*x^(n) + C. Substitute n = -1 + h: 1/(-1 + h + 1)*x^h + C Simplify: 1/h*x^h + C Use L'H's rule to take the limit as h approaches zero: d/dh x^h = d/dh e^(ln(x)*h) = ln(x)*e^h. Evaluate at h=0, gives us ln(x) d/dh h = 1 Compiling the limit gives us: limit as h->0 of 1/h*x^h = ln(x) And since +C is independent of h, we can simply add +C Result: integral 1/x dx = ln(x) + C i'll leave it as an exercise to you, to show that applying absolute value bars to the x, makes this also valid for negative x.

    In rectangular coordinates, yes. We're slicing a loaf of bread, and the height of each slice is y, and the thickness of each slice is dx. Integrating y dx gives us the area of the loaf. In 3-D, it becomes a double integral, where we're slicing a corn bread, where the width is dx, the length is dy, and the height is z, so we're integrating twice, the value of z*dx*dy. In polar coordinates, we're slicing a pizza. Each slice has an angle of dtheta, and a radius of r. The area of each slice is 1/2*r^2*dtheta.

    this curve actually does not intersect the origin it is very close but if you graph it on desmos and zoom in to the "intersection" you'll see it isn't one

    I think the method you use to determine theta for cos(theta) = -1/2 is flawed. It omits the second solution, and while in this case it works out, that's not always the case. Also if you interpret -1/2 as 1/(-2) (the different but equivalent interpretation of the fraction) you have to do some mental gymnastics to end up with the correct triangle for the omitted solution.

    then you're just omitting the second solution tbh I'd still just draw a unit circle

    From the symmetry of the problem, it’s obvious the angle sought after is on the interval (0, π]. The second solution proposed is not relevant. Even if it were, interpreting -1/2 as 1/(-2) does not remedy the problem. More generally, we can still arrive at the proposed second solution using reference triangles by taking the r into the third quadrant. For more, consult: www.nr.edu/chalmeta/271DE/Section%209.4.pdf

    @@Jhopsssss to construct the triangle for 1/2 and then take the full negative. The issue is you end up with -1 for x again even though we avoided that. The best reasonable explanation for why to do this is to just use the unit circle. Sticking to the method, the best method would be to lock in x=-1 and then draw R either direction to complete the triangle, and THEN reject any solution that you don't need.

    @@BigDBrian, in this particular example of cosθ = -1/2, the solutions on the interval [0, 2π) are θ = 2π/3 and θ = 4π/3. x must be -1 in order to arrive at these solutions because the vector sweeping out these angles occupy the second and third quadrants. Reversing the direction of r in either of these cases lands the vector in the first or fourth. The reference triangle method begins by plotting x = -1 (a vertical line on the Cartesian plane). Then, we can draw r = 2 (a circle of radius 2 centered at the origin) and find the two points at which they intersect. We then draw a vector to each of those points and find that the angles they sweep out are 2π/3 and 4π/3. To address your concern of chronology: at this point, we are free to discard the 4π/3 solution. Please note that we cannot simply draw a horizontal line segment of length 1 and then draw a diagonal line segment of length 2 in any direction and expect any useful information to fall out from it. We would get an family of triangles. The reference triangles are defined such that the projection of r onto the x-axis is equal to x (i.e. x = -1 in this case).
