Let A(θ)=12∫0θ[2(1+cos⁡φ)]2 dφA(\theta)=\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\theta}\bigl[2\bigl(1+\cos\varphi\bigr)\bigr]^2\,d\varphi denote the area swept out by the curve r=2(1+cos⁡θ)r=2\bigl(1+\cos\theta\bigr) as φ\varphi increases from 00 to θ\theta, where 0≤θ≤π0\le\theta\le\pi. For which value of θ\theta is A(θ)A(\theta) maximized? a) 3π4\dfrac{3\pi}{4} b) π2\dfrac{\pi}{2} c) π\pi d) 2π3\dfrac{2\pi}{3}
