Problem

Consider the polar graph given by r=3+2sin⁡θr=3+2\sin\theta for 0≤θ≤2π0\le\theta\le 2\pi. (1) Determine the exact area that is enclosed by the entire curve. (2) State whether the curve is traced exactly once on the interval 0≤θ≤2π0\le\theta\le 2\pi. Justify your answer using properties of rr on this interval.
