Answer

$$\frac{3}{2 \sqrt{2}}$$

Work Step by Step

We find: $\frac{\left|r^{2}+2\left(\frac{d r}{d \theta}\right)^{2}-r \frac{d^{2} r}{d \theta^{2}}\right|}{\left[r^{2}+\left(\frac{d r}{d \theta}\right)^{2}\right]^{3 / 2}}=\kappa$ $C A S:$ $\frac{2+\theta^{2}}{\left(1+\theta^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}=\kappa(\theta)$ $\frac{3}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\kappa(1)$
