MAT266 Lecture #35 9.3 Polar Coordinates
9.3 Polar Coordinates
The graph of y =f(x) = {x(,y) | y =f(x)}
Any point can be located by the (x,y) coordinate system of polar coordinates: (r, 𝜃)
𝑥 = 𝑟cos𝜃
𝑦 = 𝑟sin𝜃
While
𝑥2+ 𝑦2= 𝑟2
𝜃 = tan−1 𝑦
𝑥
Define polar system:
Define positive angle: counter clockwise angle (𝜃)
Define negative angle (-𝜃)
Example: Locate two points
A. (2, 𝜋
4)
B. (1, - 𝜋
6 )
