(r, )

We are going to look at a new coordinate system called the polar coordinate system. You are familiar with plotting with a rectangular coordinate system.

(r, ) The center of the graph is called the pole. Angles are measured from the positive x axis. Points are represented by a radius and an angle radius angle (r, ) To plot the point First find the angle Then move out along the terminal side 5

A negative angle would be measured clockwise like usual. To plot a point with a negative radius, find the terminal side of the angle but then measure from the pole in the negative direction of the terminal side.

Let's plot the following points: Notice unlike in the rectangular coordinate system, there are many ways to list the same point.

Let's take a point in the rectangular coordinate system and convert it to the polar coordinate system. (3, 4) Based on the trig you know can you see how to find r and ? r 4  3 r = 5 We'll find  in radians (5, 0.93) polar coordinates are:

Let's generalize this to find formulas for converting from rectangular to polar coordinates. (x, y) r y  x

Now let's go the other way, from polar to rectangular coordinates. Based on the trig you know can you see how to find x and y? 4 y x rectangular coordinates are:

Let's generalize the conversion from polar to rectangular coordinates. y x

Polar coordinates can also be given with the angle in degrees. (8, 210°) 330 315 300 270 240 225 210 180 150 135 120 0 90 60 30 45 (6, -120°) (-5, 300°) (-3, 540°)

Here each r unit is 1/2 and we went out 3 and did all angles. Convert the rectangular coordinate system equation to a polar coordinate system equation.  Here each r unit is 1/2 and we went out 3 and did all angles. r must be  3 but there is no restriction on  so consider all values. Before we do the conversion let's look at the graph.

substitute in for x and y Convert the rectangular coordinate system equation to a polar coordinate system equation. What are the polar conversions we found for x and y? substitute in for x and y We wouldn't recognize what this equation looked like in polar coordinates but looking at the rectangular equation we'd know it was a parabola.
