find the area of the region   enclosed by the polar curve   r = 4 + 2 cos θ ?

$$\mathrm{find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{area}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{region}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{enclosed}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{polar}\:\mathrm{curve}\: \\ $$$$\mathrm{r}\:=\:\mathrm{4}\:+\:\mathrm{2}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:? \\ $$

area =  ∫_0 ^(2π)  (1/2) r^2  dθ  = (1/2) ∫ _0 ^(2π)  (4+2cos θ)^2  dθ  = (1/2) ∫_0 ^(2π)  (16+16 cos θ + 4 ((1/2)+(1/2)cos 2θ)) dθ

$$\mathrm{area}\:=\:\:\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\mathrm{2}\pi} {\int}}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{d}\theta \\ $$$$=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\int\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\mathrm{2}\pi} {\:}}\:\left(\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{2cos}\:\theta\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{d}\theta \\ $$$$=\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\underset{\mathrm{0}} {\overset{\mathrm{2}\pi} {\int}}\:\left(\mathrm{16}+\mathrm{16}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\theta\:+\:\mathrm{4}\:\left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}}\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{2}\theta\right)\right)\:\mathrm{d}\theta \\ $$
