Please help :/ Precalc/Trig problem. Click attached
Okay so have you been taught how polar coordinate system works?
Yes, a little bit. Still kind of confusing though
Okay so basically up to this point we have been learning about the x-y plane
In order to describe the location of point on a flat surface, like a piece of paper, we can use x-y coordinates. These tell us where the point is by saying how far to move left/right and how far to move up/down.
Well the polar system can also describe the location of a point on a flat surface but it does so a little differently.
Oh o.k. Following u so far :)
They polar system says this: |dw:1345097078257:dw| Start right in the middle at the origin
facing this direction |dw:1345097138195:dw|
Now turn a certain amount |dw:1345097178358:dw|
