    Something is amiss. I was looking for how to rewrite (5, -5) to Polar, but noting in the video helped.

    • @maj._07hup
      @maj._07hup Před 3 dny

      The polar coordinate formula is (r,degree). Since the equation is x^2+y^2=r^2, you do 5^2+(-5)^2 which is 50 = r^2, so r= square root of 50. Then you do tan-1 to find the degree.

    How do you convert y=x to its polar form?

    • @stevemapis8208
      @stevemapis8208 Před 5 lety +2

      Y = X
      Since Y = r sin θ and
      X = r cos θ
      Y/X = 1
      r sin θ/r cos θ = 1
      but. sin θ/ cos θ = tan θ
      therefore,
      tan θ = 1
      θ = 45°
      I hope I am correct.

  • @gentlemandude1
    @gentlemandude1 Před 4 lety +2

    7:33 There is actually only one answer here, not two. 'r' cannot equal 0 in this context. Since r is never equal to zero (it can be negative, though), you can divide both sides of the equation by r. This means that the second result, r=6costheta, is the only possible polar form. r=0 is the polar equation of a circle entered at the origin with no radius. This doesn't match up with the rectangular form of the equation, which indicates a circle centered at (3,0) with a radius of 3. Likewise with 9:24, 10:46. It's not that textbooks are omitting an answer; r=0 is not a valid answer at all in this particular context, despite the fact that it is a solution to the equation.

      @noahali-origamiandmore2050 Před rokem +1

      Actually, "r" can be equal to 0. To understand the reason that this solution isn't in textbooks, you need to think about what r=0 really means. It's just the point where the x and y axes cross. This point is already included in the second equation for "r," so saying that r=0 is simply redundant.

    • @gentlemandude1
      @gentlemandude1 Před 4 lety +1

      He neglects to explain this well. Essentially, our polar equation is just an angle, which means that any r-values, both positive and negative will satisfy the equation so long as they result in points that are on the ray defined by the angle pi/3, just as any x-values that lie on the line y=x*sqrt(3) will satisfy that equation. Since polar equations are not unique, 4pi/3 is also a valid answer. However, 2pi/3 is not a valid answer because that angle is not in the domain of the arctan function, and also points on that polar angle do not correspond to those on the line y=x*sqrt(3). I hope that this explanation helps, even if it is two years too late.
      As for his pronunciation: give the guy a break, he puts a lot to time and effort into creating these videos for FREE. Consider showing a little gratitude.
