Answer:

(a) x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 6 ^ 2

(b) (x-1) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that to convert from polar to rectangular coordinates you must use the relationship:

x = rcos(\theta)

y = rsin(\theta)

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = r ^ 2

In this case we have the following equations in polar coordinates.

(a) r = 6.

Note that in this equation the radius is constant, it does not  depend on \theta.

As r ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + y ^ 2

Then we replace the value of the radius in the equation and we have to::

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 6 ^ 2

Then r = 6 in rectangular coordinates is a circle centered on the point (0,0) and with a constant radius r = 6.

(b) r = 2cos(\theta)

The radius is not constant, the radius depends on \theta.

To convert this equation to rectangular coordinates we write

r = 2cos(\theta)     <em>Multiply both sides of the equality by </em><em>r</em>.

r ^ 2 = 2 *rcos(\theta)    <em>remember that</em> x = rcos(\theta), <em>then: </em>

r ^ 2 = 2x        <em>remember that </em>x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = r ^ 2, <em>then:</em>

x ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 2x         <em>Simplify the expression. </em>

x ^ 2 -2x + y ^ 2 = 0     <em>Complete the square. </em>

x ^ 2 -2x + 1 + y ^ 2 = 1

(x-1) ^ 2 + y ^ 2 = 1  <em>It is a circle centered on the point (1, 0) and with radio r=1</em>

A.45<br> B.30<br> C.90<br> D.180<br> E.40<br> F.55<br> G.130<br> H.50
brilliants [131]

Answer:

m<4=40

Step-by-step explanation:

Supplementary angles form 180 degrees

m<3 is vertical to the 50 degree angle which is equal.

so. m<3=50

m<5=90

90+50=140

180-140=40

m<4=40
