Intro to Polar Coordinates Warm Up: If I were to turn 3π/4 degrees from the positive x-axis and then walk out 4 units from the origin in that direction, find the coordinates of the point I would be standing on. Objectives: Be able to graph and convert between rectangular and polar coordinates. Be able to convert between rectangular and polar equations. TS: Examine Information from more than one point of view.
Polar Coordinate System A point in the Polar coordinate system is (r, θ), where r is the directed distance from the pole and θ is the directed angle from the polar axis
Graphing Polar Coordinates A (1, π/4) B (3, - π/3) C (3, 5π/3) D (-2, -7π/6) E (-1, 5π/4)
Conversions between rectangular and polar Given (r, θ), the point (x, y) would be in the same location given all the following relations were true. x = rcosθ r2 = x2 + y2 y = rsinθ
Graphing Polar Coordinates (-√2, 3π/4) Convert to Rectangle, Graph both.
Use the conversions to change the given coordinates to their Polar Form (-4, -4) (-1, √3)
