Convert to Rectangular Coordinates 9 2 r 1 sin thetaSoluti
Convert to Rectangular Coordinates (9, 2) r = 1 + sin theta
Solution
given
(a) ( 9,2 )
we know point in rectangular is ( x-coordinate , y-coordinate )
therefore from given point x = 9 and y = 2
( b )
r = 1 + sin(theta )
multiply r on both sides
then r^2 = r + rsin(theta)
we know x =rcos(theta) , y= rsin(theta) and tan(theta) = y/x
from above r^2 = x^2 + y^2 = r^2
and r = sqrt( x^2 + y^2 )
there fore x^2 + y^2 = sqrt( x^2 + y^2 ) + y
or y = x^2 + y^2 - sqrt( x^2 + y^2 )
