Q & A

What are polar coordinates?

Polar coordinates are a way of representing points in a plane using a distance from a reference point (radius) and an angle from a reference direction (usually the positive x-axis).

How do you convert polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates?

To convert from polar coordinates (r, α) to Cartesian coordinates (x, y), you can use the formulas: x = r * cos(α) and y = r * sin(α).

What is the significance of the angle α in polar coordinates?

The angle α in polar coordinates indicates the direction of the point from the origin, and it determines in which quadrant the point lies based on the signs of x and y.

How is the radius (r) in polar coordinates calculated from Cartesian coordinates?

The radius r can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem: r = √(x² + y²), where x and y are the Cartesian coordinates.

What are the steps to find polar coordinates from Cartesian coordinates?

To find polar coordinates from Cartesian coordinates (x, y), first calculate the radius r = √(x² + y²). Then, find the angle α using α = tan⁻¹(y/x) and adjust it according to the quadrant.

In which quadrant does the angle α lie when both x and y are positive?

When both x and y are positive, the angle α lies in the first quadrant.

What formula is used to determine the angle α in different quadrants?

The formula used is α = tan⁻¹(y/x), and then you adjust based on the quadrant: add 180° for the second quadrant and 360° for the fourth quadrant.

How do you find the distance between two points in polar coordinates?

The distance P between two points in polar coordinates (R1, α1) and (R2, α2) can be calculated using the formula: P = √(R1² + R2² - 2 * R1 * R2 * cos(α2 - α1).

What is the relationship between the angle α and the quadrant in which a point lies?

The angle α helps determine the quadrant: if both x and y are positive, α is in the first quadrant; if x is negative and y is positive, it's in the second quadrant; if both are negative, it's in the third; and if x is positive and y is negative, it's in the fourth.

What example was given for converting coordinates between polar and Cartesian?

An example discussed was converting the polar coordinate A(12, 45°) to Cartesian coordinates by calculating x and y as x = 12 * cos(45°) and y = 12 * sin(45°), resulting in Cartesian coordinates (6√2, 6√2).
