DOUBLE INTEGRALS IN POLAR

Suppose that we want to evaluate a double
integral

DOUBLE INTEGRALS IN POLAR
COORDINATES
In either case, the description of R in terms of
rectangular coordinates is rather complicated but R
is easily described by polar coordinates.

DOUBLE INTEGRALS IN POLAR COORDINATES
Recall from this figure that the polar
coordinates (r, θ) of a point are related
to the rectangular coordinates (x, y) by
the equations
r2 = x 2 + y 2
x = r cos θ
y = r sin θ

POLAR RECTANGLE
The regions in the first figure are special
cases of a polar rectangle
R = {(r, θ) | a ≤ r ≤ b, α ≤ θ ≤ β}
shown here.

POLAR RECTANGLE
To compute the double integral

f ( x, y ) dA
R
where R is a polar rectangle, we divide:
 The interval [a, b] into m subintervals [ri–1, ri]
of equal width ∆r = (b – a)/m.
 The interval [α ,β] into n subintervals [θj–1, θi]
of equal width ∆θ = (β – α)/n.
7
POLAR RECTANGLES
Then, the circles r = ri and the rays θ = θi
divide the polar rectangle R into the small
polar rectangles shown here.

POLAR SUBRECTANGLE
The “center” of the polar subrectangle
Rij = {(r, θ) | ri–1 ≤ r ≤ ri, θj–1 ≤ θ ≤ θi}
has polar coordinates
ri* = ½ (ri–1 + ri)
θj* = ½ (θj–1 + θj)
9
Fig. 16.4.4, p. 1010
POLAR SUBRECTANGLE
We compute the area of Rij using the fact
that the area of a sector of a circle with
radius r and central angle θ is ½r2θ.
10
POLAR SUBRECTANGLE
Subtracting the areas of two such sectors,
each of which has central angle ∆θ = θj – θj–1,
we find that the area of Rij is:

POLAR RECTANGLES
We have defined the double integral

in terms of ordinary rectangles.
f ( x, y ) dA

However, it can be shown that, for
continuous functions f, we always obtain
the same answer using polar rectangles.

The rectangular coordinates of the center
of Rij are (ri* cos θj*, ri* sin θj*).

given by

CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Formula 2 says that we convert
from rectangular to polar coordinates
in a double integral by:
 Writing x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ
 Using the appropriate limits of integration
for r and θ
 Replacing dA by dr dθ
17
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Be careful not to forget
the additional factor r on
the right side of Formula 2.
18
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
A classical method for remembering
the formula is shown here.
 The “infinitesimal” polar rectangle can be thought of
as an ordinary rectangle
with dimensions
r dθ and dr.
 So, it has “area”
dA = r dr dθ.

The region R can be described as:

Example 1
It is the half-ring shown here.
In polar coordinates,
it is given by:

Example 2
Find the volume of the solid bounded
by:
 The plane z = 0
 The paraboloid z = 1 – x2 – y2
25
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Example 2
If we put z = 0 in the equation of
the paraboloid, we get x2 + y2 = 1.
 This means that the plane intersects
the paraboloid in the circle x2 + y2 = 1.
26
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Example 2
So, the solid lies under the paraboloid
and above the circular disk D given by
x2 + y2 ≤ 1.

In polar coordinates, D is given by
0 ≤ r ≤ 1, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π.

 This is not easy to evaluate because

CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
What we have done so far can be extended
to the more complicated type of region
shown here.
 It’s similar to
the type II
rectangular regions
considered in
Section 15.3
30
Fig. 16.4.7, p. 1013
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
In fact, by combining Formula 2 in this
section with Formula 5 in Section 16.3,
we obtain the following formula.
31
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Formula 3
If f is continuous on a polar region
of the form
D = {(r, θ) | α ≤ θ ≤ β, h1(θ) ≤ r ≤ h2(θ)}
then

32
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
In particular, taking f(x, y) = 1, h1(θ) = 0,
and h2(θ) = h(θ) in the formula, we see that
the area of the region D bounded by θ = α,
θ = β, and r = h(θ) is:

CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Example 3
From this sketch of the curve, we see that
a loop is given by the region
D = {(r, θ) | –π/4 ≤ θ ≤ π/4, 0 ≤ r ≤ cos 2θ}

Example 4
Find the volume of the solid that
lies:
 Under the paraboloid z = x2 + y2
 Above the xy-plane
 Inside the cylinder x2 + y2 = 2x
37
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Example 4
The solid lies above the disk D whose
boundary circle has equation x2 + y2 = 2x.
 After completing the square, that is: (x – 1)2 + y2 = 1
38
Fig. 16.4.9, p. 1014
Fig. 16.4.10, p. 1014
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Example 4
In polar coordinates, we have:
x2 + y2 = r2 and x = r cos θ
So, the boundary circle becomes:
r2 = 2r cos θ
or
r = 2 cos θ
39
CHANGE TO POLAR COORDS.
Example 4
Thus, the disk D is given by:
D=
{(r, θ) | –π/2 ≤ θ ≤ π/2 , 0 ≤ r ≤ 2 cos θ}
