Figure 1: part of curve C from the initial line upward, points P and Q on C, shaded region R bounded by OP, OQ and C
Figure 1

Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve \(C\) with polar equation \[r = 1 + \tan\theta, \quad 0 \leqslant \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}\]

The tangent to the curve \(C\) at the point \(P\) is perpendicular to the initial line.

(a) Find the polar coordinates of the point \(P\). (5)

The point \(Q\) lies on the curve \(C\), where \(\theta = \dfrac{\pi}{3}\)

The shaded region \(R\) is bounded by \(OP\), \(OQ\) and the curve \(C\), as shown in Figure 1

(b) Find the exact area of \(R\), giving your answer in the form \[\frac{1}{2}\left(\ln p + \sqrt{q} + r\right)\] where \(p\), \(q\) and \(r\) are integers to be found. (7)
