Pre-AP Precalculus Module 9 Polar Equations 9.1 Polar Coordinates When converting from a Cartesian coordinate system to a Polar one, the origin is renamed the pole, and the positive π₯-axis is called the polar axis. In addition the Cartesian coordinates (π₯, π¦) become Polar coordinates (π, π), where π is the distance between the point and the pole, and π is the angle formed by the polar axis and the ray from the pole through the point. If π < 0, then the point is plotted 180° from the stated angle. Example 1 β Plot the points with the following polar coordinates: (a)(3, 5π 3 π ), (b) (2, β 4 ), (c) (3,0), and (d) π (β2, 4 ). ο΅ y ο΄ ο³ ο² ο± x οο΅ οο΄ οο³ οο² οο± ο± ο² ο³ ο΄ ο΅ οο± οο² οο³ οο΄ οο΅ π Example 2 β Consider a point with polar coordinates (2, 4 ).

The polar coordinates of the pole are (0, π), where π can be any angle. If π is a point with polar coordinates (π, π), the rectangular coordinates (π₯, π¦) of π are given by (π cos π , π sin π). Example 4 β Find the rectangular coordinates of the points with the following polar coordinates: (a) π π (6, 6 ) and (b) (β4, β 4 ). Example 5 β Find the polar coordinates of the points whose rectangular coordinates are (a) (0,3) and (b) (β3,0).

To graph π₯ 2 + π¦ 2 = 1 in the calculator, two separate equations must be graphed: π¦ = ±β1 β π₯ 2 , which means a circle cannot be written as a function in the rectangular coordinates since every π₯-value in the domain could possibly yield two different π¦-values. However, in polar coordinates, the unit circle can be graphed with one equation π = 1, and since every angle π could only have one output, namely a radius of 1, the unit circle can be represented as a function in polar coordinates. We will find it useful in Calculus to represent nonfunctions in rectangular coordinates as functions in polar coordinates. Complete the following exercises on a separate sheet of paper.

Using π for the unit imaginary number ββ1, we get ββπ2 = ππ. A complex number is the sum of a real number and an imaginary number, π + ππ. Real numbers and imaginary numbers fall within the set of complex numbers. You can represent complex numbers as points on a Cartesian coordinate system called the complex plane with the horizontal real axis and vertical imaginary axis. We can also represent complex numbers in polar form as well. ο· ο· ο· ο· ο· ο· π = ββ1 π 2 = β1 π§ = π + ππ is a complex number with π being the real part of π§ and π being the imaginary part of π§. π§ = π + ππ is plotted as (π, π) on the complex plane. π β ππ is the complex conjugate of π + ππ. (π + ππ)(π β ππ) = π2 + π 2 is always real. Since π + ππ can be graphed as a point with rectangular coordinates (π, π), it can also be graphed as (π, π) in polar coordinates, such that π = π cos π and π = π sin π. Thus π§ = π + ππ = π cos π + ππ sin π = π(cos π + π sin π) = π cis π. We refer to π cis π as the polar form of a complex number or cis notation. π is called the modulus or magnitude, and π is called the argument. The absolute value of a complex number is the modulus of that number: |π§| = |π + ππ| = π. ο· π§ = π + ππ = π cis π o π = π cos π o π = π sin π o π 2 = π2 + π 2 o π π π π π = tanβ1 ( ) or π = tanβ1 ( ) + π depending on which quadrant π§ falls into.
