Transform each polar equation to an equation in rectangular coordinates and identify its shape.

Gemiola [76]3 years ago

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>

In scientific notation, how can you tell if it is less than or greater than 1? Explain
svlad2 [7]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

In scientific notation, you can tell that it is greater or less than 1 by looking at the exponent. The scientific notation looks like _.__×10⁻. Note: The little lines are blanks for you to fill in. The dot at the bottom is a decimal.

If the exponent on top of 10 is positive, you are moving the decimal to the right side, making the number greater.

If the exponent on top of 10 is negative, you are moving the decimal to the left side, making it smaller and smaller.

By those statements, you can tell if a number is greater or less than 1 by looking at the exponent.

Determine the slope <br><br> 2y-4x=1
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is mx+b=y

The equation is not simplified yet.

2y-4x=1

Add 4x to both sides

2y=1+4x

Divide by 2

1/2+2x

For this just identify. M=slope. The number next to the x is 2. So the answer is 2

I need help I can’t cuaet understand this
Gwar [14]

Answer:

B, 140

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so if you know to do volume this should be a breeze!

First off what you want to do is find the volume of the outside prism.

V=whl=4·5·8=160

160

Then find the smaller prisms volume.

V=whl=1·5·4=20

20

Minus the smaller from the bigger

160-20=140

The answers B!
