Problema 69

Capitolo 5, Problema 69

In Exercises 59–74, convert each polar equation to a rectangular equation. Then use a rectangular coordinate system to graph the rectangular equation. r = 12 cos θ

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Recall the relationships between polar and rectangular coordinates: \(x = r \cos \theta\), \(y = r \sin \theta\), and \(r^2 = x^2 + y^2\).

Start with the given polar equation: \(r = 12 \cos \theta\).

Multiply both sides of the equation by \(r\) to eliminate the \(\cos \theta\) term: \(r \cdot r = 12 r \cos \theta\), which gives \(r^2 = 12 r \cos \theta\).

Substitute the rectangular coordinate equivalents: replace \(r^2\) with \(x^2 + y^2\) and \(r \cos \theta\) with \(x\), resulting in the equation \(x^2 + y^2 = 12x\).

Rearrange the equation to standard form by bringing all terms to one side: \(x^2 - 12x + y^2 = 0\). Then, complete the square for the \(x\) terms to express the equation in the form of a circle.

Concetti chiave

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

Polar to Rectangular Coordinate Conversion

Polar coordinates (r, θ) relate to rectangular coordinates (x, y) through the formulas x = r cos θ and y = r sin θ. Converting a polar equation to rectangular form involves substituting these expressions to eliminate r and θ, enabling analysis and graphing in the Cartesian plane.
