In Exercises 49–58, convert each rectangular equation to a polar equation that expresses r in terms of θ.
y² = 6x
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the relationships between rectangular coordinates (x, y) and polar coordinates (r, \(\theta\)):
\(x = r \cos{\theta}\)
\(y = r \sin{\theta}\)
Substitute \(x\) and \(y\) in the given equation \(y^2 = 6x\) using the polar forms:
\((r \sin{\theta})^2 = 6 (r \cos{\theta})\)
Simplify the equation:
\(r^2 \sin^2{\theta} = 6r \cos{\theta}\)
Since \(r\) can be zero, consider dividing both sides by \(r\) (assuming \(r \neq 0\)) to isolate \(r\):
\(r \sin^2{\theta} = 6 \cos{\theta}\)
Finally, solve for \(r\) in terms of \(\theta\):
\(r = \frac{6 \cos{\theta}}{\sin^2{\theta}}\)

Rectangular and Polar Coordinate Systems
Rectangular coordinates represent points using (x, y) on a 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 how these systems relate is essential for converting equations between them.

Conversion Formulas Between Rectangular and Polar Coordinates
The key formulas are x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ, which allow substitution of rectangular variables with polar expressions. These formulas enable rewriting equations from rectangular form into polar form by expressing x and y in terms of r and θ.
