Jan had x color pencils in her box and shares them equally with her friend,Talia.Her brother gives her 2 more color pencils.Jan

liberstina [14]

3 = X/2 + 2

1 = X/2

2 = X

Jan had 2 pencils to start off with. She gave half (1 pencil) to Talia. Her brother gave her 2, which means she ends up with 3.

Please help! what is the polar equation r = -5 theta in parametric form?<br><br> thank you!

Rudiy27

Use these equations when converting polar equations to parametric equations:

$x=r\cos\theta$

$y=r\sin\theta$

We know that $r=5\theta$ , so substitute that into both equations for x and y.

$x=5\theta\cos\theta$

$y=5\theta\sin\theta$

Now, replace $\theta$ with any variable that you want to represent the parametric equations in. I'll use the standard variable, $t$

$x=5t\cos t$

$y=5t\sin t$

Thus, $r=5\theta$ represented in parametric form is:

$(x,y)=(5t\cos t, 5t \sin t)$

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
