Question

theta = 2. It's a polar curve question, I need to graph the curve. Help!!! Thank you.

Answer 1

I just need to know how to find the radius. Thank you!

Answer 2

the equation is just \[\theta = 2\]
?

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

that's just a straight line with angle 2 radians

Answer 5

Oh. I didn't thought of that! Thanks man!

Answer 6

np. if you want to convert it to rectangular coordinates, think of the relationship tan(theta) = y/x yielding y = x tan(2)

notice how this is just a straight line, also, in rectangular coordinates with slope tan(2)

Answer 7

I don't get it. How is it a straight line. I do know the relationship but, I'm confused.

Answer 8

if you're only given an angle measurement, there is no bound on the radius. it can be anything. if you were asked to graph "45 degrees", for example, it would just be a line.

Answer 9

Ohhhhhhhhh. It all makes sense now.

Answer 10

Thanks man.
