Problem Solved!
In the first lesson of this unit, you were lightly introduced to graphing polar coordinates. This lesson revisits what you learned earlier, and extends those ideas to graphing polar equations. In the first of three videos below, you will learn how to graph polar coordinates with negative values, namely when:…
Just as in the previous section, you can convert rectangular equations to polar equations using the same formulas introduced before (summarized below). Rectangular equations are written exclusively in terms of x and y, while polar equations are written in terms of r and θ. The first of many videos related to this…
Up until now, you have worked purely with a rectangular coordinate system, in which there are two perpendicular axes, and points are specified according to their coordinates, (x, y). What’s interesting is that whenever you plot a point on an x-y plane, that point can also be represented as a vector,…
