In Exercises 49–58, convert each rectangular equation to a polar equation that expresses r in terms of θ. x = 7

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Recall the relationship between rectangular coordinates \((x, y)\) and polar coordinates \((r, \theta)\): \(x = r \cos{\theta}\) and \(y = r \sin{\theta}\).
Given the rectangular equation \(x = 7\), substitute \(x\) with \(r \cos{\theta}\) to get \(r \cos{\theta} = 7\).
To express \(r\) in terms of \(\theta\), isolate \(r\) by dividing both sides of the equation by \(\cos{\theta}\), resulting in \(r = \frac{7}{\cos{\theta}}\).
Recognize that \(\frac{1}{\cos{\theta}}\) is the secant function, so the polar equation can also be written as \(r = 7 \sec{\theta}\).
This polar equation expresses \(r\) explicitly in terms of \(\theta\), completing the conversion from rectangular to polar form.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Rectangular and Polar Coordinate Systems

Rectangular coordinates represent points using (x, y) values on a Cartesian plane, while polar coordinates use (r, θ), where r is the distance from the origin and θ is the angle from the positive x-axis. Understanding the relationship between these systems is essential for converting equations.

Conversion Formulas Between Coordinates

The key formulas for conversion are x = r cos(θ) and y = r sin(θ). To convert from rectangular to polar, express x and y in terms of r and θ, then manipulate the equation to isolate r as a function of θ.
