To find the intersection point, solve 3 sin + 3 = 3 cos + 3 to get the first quadrant

answer of = 4 . The other bound, 0, is the beginning of the first quadrant.

b) =

To check for an absolute minimum, you must test the endpoints and where = 0 or und.

Solve = 3 sin = 0 to get = 0, , which also happen to be the endpoints. Plug
these values into 1 to see that the minimum distance is given by = . *Note that for

parts b and c, = und. is not possible.

c) =

To check for an absolute maximum, you must test the endpoints and where = 0 or

und. Solve = 3 cos = 0 to get = 2 . Plug 2 , 0, and in for in the equation 2 =
3 sin + 3.
(0) = 3
() = 3

(2 ) = 6

So the maximum is at = 2

d) =
You must use the equation = sin . You can plug in 6 for y and 3 sin + 3 in for r to
get the equation 6 = 3 sin2 + 3 sin . Dividing both sides by 3 and rearranging gives
sin2 + sin 2 = 0 which can be factored into (sin + 2)(sin 1) = 0. It is

impossible to have sin = 2 so the solution is sin = 1 or = 2 .
You can also use the substitution trick described in the solution to Polar FRQ #1.

Rearranging the 2 equation so that it is solved for sin results in sin = 3 .
Substituting this in for sin in the equation = sin , you can solve

6 = ( )

to get = 2 .

e) = ( ), or simplified as =

Plug 0 into the equations = cos and = sin to get the x-coordinate 3 and y-
coordinate 0. Differentiate the x and y equations to obtain

= cos (3 sin + 3) cos + 3 cos sin


= sin (3 sin + 3) + 3 cos2

You may choose to plug 0 in for in the two derivative equations separately then divide

by , or you can plug 0 in after you write as a fraction. Either way, = 1 at =

0. Note that if you remember sin 2 = 2 sin cos , then the equation for x can be
rewritten to make the differentiation and evaluation processes easier.
