11 WB8 Find a Polar equivalent for the following Cartesian equation:
𝑦 3 =𝑥+4 𝑥=𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 𝑦=𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 𝜃=𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝑦 𝑥 𝑟 2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 𝑟 3 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃=𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃+4 𝑟 3 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃−𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃=4 Divide both sides by 2 (do this inside the bracket rather than outside – the reason will become apparent in a moment…) 𝑟 3 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃−𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 =4 𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃− 1 2 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 =2 𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃− 𝜋 6 =2 Replace the bracket with the expression we found This next step is tricky to spot, but it is possible to write the bracket using sine only This again relies on the formulae from C3… 𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝐴−𝐵 ≡𝑆𝑖𝑛𝐴𝐶𝑜𝑠𝐵−𝐶𝑜𝑠𝐴𝑆𝑖𝑛𝐵 Let A = θ and B = π/6 𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝜃− 𝜋 6 ≡𝑆𝑖𝑛𝜃𝐶𝑜𝑠 𝜋 6 −𝐶𝑜𝑠𝜃𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝜋 6 Calculate the parts with π/6 𝑆𝑖𝑛 𝜃− 𝜋 6 ≡ 𝑆𝑖𝑛𝜃− 1 2 𝐶𝑜𝑠𝜃 This is equivalent to the part in the brackets, so we can replace it! 𝑟= 2 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃− 𝜋 6 ⟹ 𝑟=2𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝜃− 𝜋 6

12 WB8 Find a Polar equivalent for the following Cartesian equation:
𝑦 3 =𝑥+4 𝑥=𝑟𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 𝑦=𝑟𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 𝜃=𝑎𝑟𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑛 𝑦 𝑥 𝑟 2 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 𝑟= 2 𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝜃− 𝜋 6 ⇒ 𝑟=2𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑐 𝜃− 𝜋 6 𝒚 𝟑 =𝒙+𝟒 𝒓=𝟐𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒄 𝜽− 𝝅 𝟔 ⇒ 𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃− 1 2 𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 =2 An expression like this can be simplified in the way we just did Both the numerical parts need to be able to be rewritten as sin and cos of the same angle (in the previous example, π/6 gave us the answers we needed) You can manipulate the expression to give values that work If it is possible you need to consider whether it is an expansion of sin or cos, and also whether it is an addition or a subtraction…

15 Crucial points (r, θ) origin Initial line
Make sure that you can covert between cartesian and polar coordinates. cartesian (x, y) polar (r, θ) θ is In the range [-, ] or [0, 2] 2. Remember that cos θ = cos (- θ) If the equation only involves cos it will be symmetrical in the initial line 3. We can use periodicity of the functions to help us e.g. tan has a period of . Therefore r = tan 5θ will repeat itself after an angle of
