Rewrite in Polar Form.... x^(2)+y^(2)-6y-8=0

1 answer:

3 0

$\bf x^2+y^2-6y-8=0\qquad 
\begin{cases}
x^2+y^2=r^2\\\\
y=rsin(\theta)
\end{cases}\implies r^2-6rsin(\theta)=8
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we do some grouping}\implies [r^2-6rsin(\theta)]=8
\\\\\\\
[r^2-6rsin(\theta)+\boxed{?}^2]=8\impliedby 
\begin{array}{llll}
\textit{so we need a value there to make}\\
\textit{a perfect square trinomial}
\end{array}$

$\bf 6rsin(\theta)\iff 2\cdot r\cdot \boxed{3\cdot sin(\theta)}\impliedby \textit{so there}
\\\\\\
\textit{now, bear in mind we're just borrowing from zero, 0}
\\\\
\textit{so if we add, \underline{whatever}, we also have to subtract \underline{whatever}}$

$\bf [r^2-6rsin(\theta)\underline{+[3sin(\theta)]^2}]\quad \underline{-[3sin(\theta)]^2}=8\\\\
\left. \qquad \right.\uparrow \\
\textit{so-called "completing the square"}
\\\\\\\
[r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+[3sin(\theta)]^2\implies [r-3sin(\theta)]^2=8+9sin^2(\theta)
\\\\\\
r-3sin(\theta)=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}\implies r=\sqrt{8+9sin^2(\theta)}+3sin(\theta)$

Find the area of the surface correct to four decimal places by expressing the area in terms of a single integral and using your

love history [14]

If we substitute $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$ , we get $r^2=x^2+y^2$ , so that

$z=\cos(x^2+y^2)=\cos(r^2)$

which is independent of $\theta$ , which in turn means the surface can be treated like a surface of revolution.

Consider the function $f(t)=\cos(t^2)$ defined over $0\le t\le1$ . Revolve the curve $C$ described by $f(t)$ about the line $t=0$ . The area of the surface obtained in this way is then
