  • When calculating the area of the blue, wouldn't you have to subtract 2 * the pink part? (integral of (1 + cos theta/2 )^2 from pi to 2pi)

  • Ok, is it normal I tottaly understand anything from all of this ahah wtf

  • That's awesome! It totally blows my mind. As a calculus beginner, I only think that the trig graphs are oscillating graphs, I never think that they can be transformed into other forms. Just curious, what happens to the graph if the interval is extended to 8pi/ Will I obtain the same graph because the function is periodic ?

  • what's a beautiful shape of this graph :)
