Some please teach me how to do this test in a few hours and the book doesn't help!?!
i know how to get the derivative I just have no clue how to get the (-\pi +2)
after integrating, wat did u get ?
-4\theta+tan\theta
thats wrong.
i know, i have no clue
where is ur integration constant ?
whenever u take indefinite integral, the constant pops up aswell
oh you're talking about the +C yes i know that is what is missing but have no clue how to find it
\(\large r'(\theta) = -4 + \sec^2 \theta\) \(\large r(\theta) = \int -4 + \sec^2 \theta d\theta\) \(\large r(\theta) = -4\theta + \tan \theta + C\)
right i can get that far exactly lol.. how do i get the C
we're given that \(\large \left(-\frac{\pi}{4}, 1\right)\) is a point on \(\large r(\theta)\) right ?
yes plugging in -(\pi)/4 gives me 1 though
plug \(\large r = 1, \theta = -\frac{\pi}{4}\) in the above equation and solve \(\large C\)
\(\large r(\theta) = -4\theta + \tan \theta + C\) \(\large 1 = -4(-\frac{\pi}{4}) + \tan (-\frac{\pi}{4}) + C\)
\(\large 1 = \pi -1 + C\) \(\large C = 2 - \pi\)
thank you very much... very easy once i understood it, just learned this C thing last couple weeks
np :) wish u good luck wid d test !!
thank you
