Page 2: Working with Equations in Different Coordinate Systems

This page focuses on converting equations between polar and rectangular forms, demonstrating more complex applications of coordinate system transformations.

Example: Converting 5x - y = 6 to polar form results in r = 6/(5cosθ - sinθ).

Highlight: When converting equations, systematic substitution of x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ is crucial for accurate transformation.

Definition: The process of converting equations involves careful substitution, algebraic manipulation, and often requires factoring or combining like terms.

The page provides detailed examples of converting both linear and circular equations, emphasizing the importance of proper algebraic manipulation and understanding of trigonometric identities.

Page 1: Converting Between Coordinate Systems

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of converting between polar and rectangular coordinate systems, featuring several detailed examples.

Definition: Rectangular coordinates (x,y) can be converted to polar coordinates (r,θ) and vice versa using specific trigonometric relationships.

Example: Converting (3,π) from polar to rectangular coordinates yields x = 3cos(π) = -3 and y = 3sin(π) = 0.

Highlight: The conversion formulas are x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ for polar to rectangular conversion.

Vocabulary: Quadrantal angles refer to angles that lie on the axes of the coordinate system (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°).

The page demonstrates various conversion scenarios, including special angles and quadrant-specific cases, providing a comprehensive foundation for coordinate transformation.
