Vo 5:17 AM 0 0.0KB/s 90 7.3 Polar Coordinates WN a Using right-triangle trigonometry, the following equations are true for the point P: X cos o = so X = r cos 0 r sin Ꮎ = so y = r sin 0. r Furthermore, r2 = x2 + y2 and tan 0 = y x' Each point (x, y) in the Cartesian coordinate system can therefore be represented as an ordered pair (r, 0) in the polar coordinate system. The first coordinate is called the radial coordinate and the second coordinate is called the angular coordinate. Every point in the plane can be represented in this form. Note that the equation tan 0 = y/x has an infinite number of solutions for any ordered pair (x,y). However, if we restrict the solutions to values between 0 and 27 then we can assign a unique

Vo 5:33 AM 0.0KB/s 87 This certainly gives the right answer, but there is a quicker way. Consider a function f(r) in polar coordinates: this is a function f(r, 0). The small change in going from the point r with coordinates (r, 0) to the point r + dr with coordinates (r + dr, 0+ d 0) is df = дf af dr + d Ꮎ ar де (1) Observe that d f =dr.
