Answer:
The simplest answer is
The reason how I got that is because to divide fractions, you have to turn them improper. Once you've done that, you then can multiply it by using the reciprocal of the second fraction. Once they are rearranged, multiply all the numerators by each other. do the same with the denominators and form a new fraction.
These are two questions and two answers.
Question 1) Which of the following polar equations is equivalent to the parametric equations below?
<span>
x=t²
y=2t</span>
Answer: option <span>A.) r = 4cot(theta)csc(theta)
</span>
Explanation:
1) Polar coordinates ⇒ x = r cosθ and y = r sinθ
2) replace x and y in the parametric equations:
r cosθ = t²
r sinθ = 2t
3) work r sinθ = 2t
r sinθ/2 = t
(r sinθ / 2)² = t²
4) equal both expressions for t²
r cos θ = (r sin θ / 2 )²
5) simplify
r cos θ = r² (sin θ)² / 4
4 = r (sinθ)² / cos θ
r = 4 cosθ / (sinθ)²
r = 4 cot θ csc θ ↔ which is the option A.
Question 2) Which polar equation is equivalent to the parametric equations below?
<span>
x=sin(theta)cos(theta)+cos(theta)
y=sin^2(theta)+sin(theta)</span>
Answer: option B) r = sinθ + 1
Explanation:
1) Polar coordinates ⇒ x = r cosθ, and y = r sinθ
2) replace x and y in the parametric equations:
a) r cosθ = sin(θ)cos(θ)+cos(θ)
<span>
b) r sinθ =sin²(θ)+sin(θ)</span>
3) work both equations
a) r cosθ = sin(θ)cos(θ)+cos(θ) ⇒ r cosθ = cosθ [ sin θ + 1] ⇒ r = sinθ + 1
<span>
b) r sinθ =sin²(θ)+sin(θ) ⇒ r sinθ = sinθ [sinθ + 1] ⇒ r = sinθ + 1
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span>Therefore, the answer is r = sinθ + 1 which is the option B.
