Consider the polar curves C1 : r =  4 + (3√2)/(2) cos θ and C2 : r = 2 − (√2)/(2)  cos θ as shown in the figure on the right. The curves C1 and C2 are both symmetric with respect to the polar axis. Each of these curves is traced counterclockwise as the value of θ increases on the interval [0, 2π]. Also, for each of these curves, r > 0 when θ ∈ [0, 2π].   Let P be the point of intersection of C1 and C2 in the second quadrant. Find polar coordinates (r, θ) for the point P where r > 0 and θ ∈ [0, 2π].
