convert to rectangular form r= theta csc theta
please....Help me! :)
hmmm D: not sure what to do about that silly theta in front.. thinking...
Using our identity for cosecant,\[\Large r=\theta \frac{1}{\sin \theta}\] So we can multiply both sides by sin theta
\[\Large r \sin \theta=\theta\]
ok....and the\[\theta ??\]
hmmmm
I know that \[\theta=\tan^{-1} (\frac{ y }{ x } )\]
yah that's what i was thinking... looks so ugly though lol
do you understand how to simplify the left side?
I don't know :(
When going between Polar and Cartesian, try to remember these relationships:\[\Large x=r \cos \theta \qquad\qquad y=r \sin \theta\]
and?? how do you simplify??
\[\Large x=r \cos \theta \qquad\qquad \color{royalblue}{y=r \sin \theta}\] So we have:\[\Large \color{royalblue}{r \sin \theta}=\theta\] See the conversion on the left side? :)
Ya i think the right side just gives you\[\Large \arctan\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)\]as you initially thought
I'll call the smarty pants guys over to check though D: @satellite73 @hartnn
ok...
this polar is a parabola
\[y ^{2}=x\]
really..? weird... that's not what my graph is giving me :( https://www.desmos.com/calculator/phsu8ovfbt
but I don't know how ....
very weird...
even i get r sin theta = theta as y =x tan y not parabola...
