Eliminating the Parameter
Eliminate the parameter and identify the graph of the parametric
curve.
1. x = 1 - 2t, y = 2 - t, -∞ < t < ∞ 2. x = t2 - 2, y = 3t

6.4 Polar Coordinates
Polar Coordinate System
- a plane with a point 0 (the pole) and a ray from O (polar axis).
Title: Jul 136:47 AM (8 of 18)
Find all polar coordinates for a point.
Let P have polar coordinates (r, θ). Any other polar coordinates of P must be
of the form
(r, θ + 2nπ) or (-r, θ + (2n + 1)π)
where n is any integer. In particular, the pole has polar coordinates (0,θ),
where θ is any angle.
Example:
If the point P has polar coordinates (3, π/3), find all polar coordinates.

Coordinate Conversion
Let the point P have polar coordinates (r, θ) and rectangular coordinates
(x, y). Then
x = r cosθ, y = r sinθ, r2 = x2 + y2, tanθ = y/x
Find the rectangular coordinates of the points with the give polar
coordinates.
(a) P(4, 4π/3) (b) Q(6, -200o)
Find two polar coordinate pairs for the points with given rectangular
coordinates.
(a) P(-1, 1) (b) Q(-4, -4√3)
