10-7

You are familiar with plotting with a rectangular coordinate system.

We are going to look at a new coordinate system called the polar coordinate system.

The center of the graph is called the pole.

Angles are measured from the positive x axis.

Points are represented by a radius and an angle

(r, )radius angle

To plot the point

4,5

First find the angle

Then move out along the terminal side 5

A negative angle would be measured clockwise like usual.

To plot a point with a negative radius, find the terminal side of the angle but then measure from the pole in the negative direction of the terminal side.

Let's plot the following points:

Notice unlike in the rectangular coordinate system, there are many ways to list the same point.

Let's take a point in the rectangular coordinate system and convert it to the polar coordinate system.

Based on the trig you know can you see how to find r and ?4

We'll find in radians

(5, 0.93)polar coordinates are:

Let's generalize this to find formulas for converting from rectangular to polar coordinates.

Now let's go the other way, from polar to rectangular coordinates.

Based on the trig you know can you see how to find x and y?

Polar coordinates can also be given with the angle in degrees.

Converting between rectangular and polar equations

• Circles with center at the origin-All we need to know is the radius!

Converting between rectangular and polar equations

• Lines that go through the origin– All we need to know is the angle!

• For circles that don’t have a center at the origin, lines that don’t go through the origin and other shapes we have to substitute using our equations

substitute in for x and y

We wouldn't recognize what this equation looked like in polar coordinates but looking at the rectangular equation we'd know it was a line.

What are the polar conversions we found for x and y?

Convert the rectangular coordinate system equation to a polar coordinate system equation.

r must be 3 but there is no restriction on so consider all values.

Here each r unit is 1/2 and we went out 3

and did all angles.

Before we do the conversion let's look at the graph.
