Problem 8
Find the area of the smallest region bounded by the graphs of and .
Solution
Solution by e_power_pi_times_i
The graph of is a circle with radius centered at the origin. The graph of is the combined graphs of and with a nonnegative y. Because the arguments of and are and respectively, the angle between the graphs of and is . Thus, the smallest region bounded by the graphs is .
