Write the rectangular equivalent of the given polar equation
Write the rectangular equivalent of the given polar equation. Name the polar point (2.5, 2pi/3) three additional ways. Of course, -2pi lessthanorequalto theta lessthanorequalto 2pi.
Solution
in polar coordinates
x/r=cos, y/r=sin
x2+y2=r2
IV)
1)r =2csc
r =2/sin
rsin=2
y=2
2)r=5
(x2+y2)=5
V)
(2.5,2pi/3)
one way :(-2.5,pi +2pi/3)=(-2.5,5pi/3)
second way :(2.5,-2pi +2pi/3)=(2.5,-4pi/3)
third way :(-2.5,-pi +2pi/3)=(-2.5,-pi/3)
