In Exercises 59–74, convert each polar equation to a rectangular equation. Then use a rectangular coordinate system to graph the rectangular equation. r = 4 csc θ
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the relationship between polar and rectangular coordinates: \(x = r \cos \theta\) and \(y = r \sin \theta\). Also, \(r = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2}\).
Given the polar equation \(r = 4 \csc \theta\), rewrite \(\csc \theta\) in terms of sine: \(\csc \theta = \frac{1}{\sin \theta}\), so the equation becomes \(r = \frac{4}{\sin \theta}\).
Multiply both sides of the equation by \(\sin \theta\) to get \(r \sin \theta = 4\).
Substitute \(r \sin \theta\) with \(y\) (from the coordinate relationships), resulting in the rectangular equation \(y = 4\).
Interpret the rectangular equation \(y = 4\) as a horizontal line crossing the y-axis at 4, which can be graphed on the rectangular coordinate system.

Polar and Rectangular Coordinate Systems
Polar coordinates represent points using a radius and an angle (r, θ), while rectangular coordinates use (x, y) positions on a plane. Understanding how these systems relate is essential for converting equations and graphing accurately.
