1 Section 10.1 Polar Coordinates Up until now, we have always graphed using the rectangular coordinate system (also called the Cartesian coordinate system). In this section we will learn about another system, called polar coordinates. In polar coordinates, we choose a point, called the pole, that coincides with the "origin" in rectangular coordinates. The right-facing horizontal ray that originates at the pole is called the polar axis. (The polar axis coincides with the positive portion of the x-axis in the rectangular coordinate system. ) In the rectangular system, a point is denoted by (x, y) coordinates. But in the polar system, a point P is denoted by (r, θ) coordinates, where r is the distance from the point to the pole (if r is positive we'll discuss negative r in a moment). If we draw a ray from the pole through P, then θ is the angle (in degrees or radians) between the polar axis and that ray. In the graphing area to the right, the polar axis is shown as the bold ray. Each circle is centered at the pole (denoted by the O), with its radius marked along the polar axis. Give the coordinates (r, θ) of each point on the graph, assuming θ is in radians and r is positive. It may help to label the following angles:,,,,, P 3 P 2 P 1 O P 1 : P 2 : P 3 : P 4 3 P 4 : Now plot the point P5 : 1, 2. As we've just practiced, to plot a point with a positive r-value, you travel θ from the polar axis and then plot the point a distance of r from the pole. But if the r-value is negative, you travel to θ, then plot the point a distance of r in the opposite direction of θ. 2 For instance, to plot the point 3,, you would locate 3 the angle 2, then move 3 away from the pole in the 3 opposite direction, as shown in the figure to the left. The point 2, is shown in the figure on the right Page 1
2 There are actually infinitely many ways to label a point in the polar coordinate system. For example, the point 2, 4 shown in the figure on the left could also be labeled as 9 2, since traveling one complete 4 9 rotation from takes us to If we traveled to 5 4 then moved a distance of 2 in the opposite direction, we 5 would arrive at this same point, and we would label it 2, 4. Or, if we moved in the clockwise direction from the polar axis, then θ would be negative, and specifically, this angle would be 7, so the point would be labeled 4 7 2, 4. This example shows four ways to label this point, but as mentioned earlier, there are infinitely many ways to label this point in the polar coordinate system. Example: Plot each point in polar coordinates, then find other polar coordinates of the point for which: (a) r > 0, -2 θ < 0 (b) r < 0, 0 θ 2 (c) r > 0, 2 θ < 4 #32) 3 4, 4 #38) 2 2, Page 2
3 CONVERTING FROM POLAR COORDINATES TO RECTANGULAR COORDINATES It is very simple to convert from polar to rectangular coordinates. You just need to memorize two simple formulas: Example: Find the rectangular coordinates of each point. #42) 3,4 #46) 2 2, 3 #48) 3 3, 4 CONVERTING FROM RECTANGULAR COORDINATES TO POLAR COORDINATES It is a bit more work to convert from rectangular to polar coordinates, but it is still pretty easy to do. Sometimes you can figure it out just by "eyeballing" the point on a graph. Here is an example of a point that you can figure out just by looking at where it is on a graph: (0, 2). Remember, this is a point in rectangular coordinates, so x = 0 and y = 2. Plot this point in rectangular coordinates. Look at the graph and determine the radius (distance from the pole to the point) and the angle θ made with the polar axis. If we considered a positive θ, what would the coordinates be? If we instead considered a negative θ, what would the coordinates be? 10.1 Page 3
4 Example: Convert the point to polar coordinates (the triangle will be helpful for these two problems) a) (2, -2) b) (-3, 3) Other times you will need to use these formulas to convert from rectangular to polar coordinates: Example: Convert the point 2, 2 3 to polar coordinates. First we must determine which Quadrant this point lies in. x 2 and y 2 3, so the point is in Quadrant. Now we find r: 2 r Thus, r Then we find θ: tan 3 tan 1 3 (in Q1) or (in Q3). 2 Since we already decided that this point is in Q, the polar coordinates for this point are:. Example: Convert the point 3, 1 to polar coordinates Page 4
5 TRANSFORM EQUATIONS FROM POLAR TO RECTANGULAR FORM AND VICE-VERSA Two common techniques for transforming an equation from polar form to rectangular form are 1. Multiplying both sides of the equation by r 2. Squaring both sides of the equation. In addition to the formula 2 r x y, it is also often helpful to use its square root: Example: Write the equation using rectangular coordinates (x, y). #78) r sin cos We will start by using the first technique (multiplying both sides by r). Distribute 2 Apply Definitions r x y. r r r sin cos r r sin r cos x y y x #76) r sin 1 #80) r 4 To transform an equation from rectangular to polar form, you usually just need to use the same formulas: 2 x r cos, y r sin, and x y r. Example: Write the equation using polar coordinates (r, θ). #68) x y x #70) y 2 2x #72) 2 4x y Page 5
