Document Summary

Question #8 (medium): slope of tangent for polar equation at given angle. Slope of the tangent for polar equation is given by and then take the ratio, plugging in the assigned value for the numeric tangent value. So first write out the expression for and using the given polar equation, then take the derivative of. Find the slope of the tangent line to the given polar equation at the point specified by the value of . Slope of tangent means taken using product rule. These x and y expressions can be simplified, or the derivative can be.
