(r,  )

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

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 (r,  ) radiusangle 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) r  Based on the trig you know can you see how to find r and  ? 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? rectangular coordinates are: 4 y x

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

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

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

Convert the rectangular coordinate system equation to a polar coordinate system equation. 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. What are the polar conversions we found for x and y?
