Good Morning. I'm Will-Anne M. Villa. I need help for my project in my school. What is Polar Coordinate? Thankyou

In mathematics, the polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its another way of defining a point in space normally we use the cartesian coordinate system to define a point in 2 dimensional space using the variables x and y this you should be familiar with polar coordinates define a point in space using angle and distance away from the origin denoted theta and r

Thank you. Other coordinate system give the position of a point in a plain and the polar coordinate system is one of them right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plane and yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thankyou. What is the relation of Rectangular coordinates to Polar coordinate?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x= r \cos \theta\] \[y= r \sin \theta\] i hope i remembered that correctly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\] \[\theta=\tan^{-1}(\frac{y}{x})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The realtion between polar coordinates [r,Θ] and rectangular coordinates (x, y) is given by the following equatin: x=rcosθ and y=rsinθ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you give me some example of graph of polar coordinates? Thank you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can you identify what kind of graph in polar coordinates it is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can you identify the interval of a given polar equation?
