Example 1:
Convert the following points from rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates: (3√ 2, − 3√ 2), (− 4,− 3), (− √ 3,1), (− 2,5).Example 2:
Convert the following points in polar coordinates to standard form (with r ≥ 0, 0 ≤ θ < 2π ), and then convert them to rectangular coordinates: (8,− [3π /4]), (− 6,− [11π /6]), (− 2,[11π /3]), (3,− [2π /3]).Example 3:
Graph the polar equation r = 2sinθ . Check your answer by converting the equation to rectangular coordinates and solving it algebraically.Example 4:
Convert the following points in polar coordinates to standard form (with r ≥ 0, 0 ≤ θ < 2π ), and then convert them to rectangular coordinates: (− 2,− [13π /6]), (6,− [π /3]), (− 5,[7π /4]), (− 4,− [5π /4]).Example 5:
Graph the polar equation r = sin2θ .
