FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are polar coordinates?

Back

Polar coordinates are a two-dimensional coordinate system where each point is determined by a distance from a reference point (the pole) and an angle from a reference direction.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the relationship between polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates?

Back

Polar coordinates (r, θ) can be converted to Cartesian coordinates (x, y) using the formulas: x = r * cos(θ) and y = r * sin(θ).

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you determine if two polar coordinates represent the same point?

Back

Two polar coordinates (r, θ) and (r', θ') represent the same point if r = r' and θ = θ' + 2kπ or r = -r' and θ = θ' + (2k+1)π for any integer k.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the angle in polar coordinates?

Back

The angle in polar coordinates determines the direction of the point from the origin, measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What does a negative radius indicate in polar coordinates?

Back

A negative radius indicates that the point is in the opposite direction of the angle specified.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

How do you find the distance between two points in polar coordinates?

Back

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the polar coordinate of the point (0, θ)?

Back

The polar coordinate (0, θ) represents the origin, regardless of the angle θ.
