Answer:

4)
(x-1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 2

Explanation:

4) We can convert this polar equation to rectangular form using the following formulas:


  • r^2 = x^2 + y^2

  • r \sin(\theta) = y

  • r\cos(\theta) = x

  • \tan(\theta) = (y)/(x)

We need to manipulate the equation so some of the terms match these formulas.


r=2\cos(\theta) + 2\sin(\theta)

↓ dividing both sides by
2


r / 2=\cos(\theta) + \sin(\theta)

↓ multiplying both sides by
r


(r^2)/(2)=r\cos(\theta) + r\sin(\theta)

Now, we can apply the polar conversion formulas to get the equation:


(x^2 + y^2)/(2)=x + y

This can be manipulated to get a circle standard form equation.

↓ multiplying both sides by 2


x^2 + y^2=2x + 2y

↓ completing the square for
x

↓ moving the x's to one side


x^2 -2x=-y^2 + 2y

↓ adding (-2/2)², or 1, to both sides


x^2 -2x + 1=-y^2 + 2y + 1

↓ factoring the perfect square


(x-1)^2=-y^2 + 2y + 1

↓ completing the square for
y

↓ factoring a (-1) out of the right side


(x-1)^2=-1(y^2 - 2y - 1)

↓ adding (-1)(+2) to both sides


(x-1)^2 - 2=-1(y^2 - 2y - 1 + 2)

↓ simplifying


(x-1)^2 - 2=-1(y^2 - 2y + 1)

↓ factoring the perfect square


(x-1)^2 - 2=-(y - 1)^2

↓ adding
(y-1)^2 to both sides


(x-1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 - 2 = 0

↓ adding 2 to both sides


\boxed{(x-1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 2}

Answer:


\textsf{4)} \quad \textsf{A.}\;\;(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=2


\textsf{5)} \quad \textsf{A.}\;\;r=\cot \theta \csc \theta

Explanation:

A polar equation is a mathematical expression that relates the distance (r) and angle (θ) of a point (r, θ) in a polar coordinate system.

Rectangular form, also known as Cartesian form, is a way of representing numbers or equations using the coordinates (x, y) in a Cartesian coordinate system. It is a standard way of expressing values in a two-dimensional space using the horizontal axis (x) and the vertical axis (y).

Question 4

To convert a polar equation to rectangular form, we can use the following relationships:


\boxed{\begin{aligned}r \cos \theta&=x\\\\r \sin \theta&=y\\\\r^2&=x^2+y^2\end{aligned}}

Given polar equation:


r=2 \cos \theta+2 \sin \theta

Multiply both sides of the equation by r:


r^2=2r \cos \theta+2r \sin \theta

Substitute the expressions for r², r cosθ and r sinθ:


x^2+y^2=2x+2y

This is an equation of a circle.

To write it in standard form, move all the terms to the left side of the equation:


x^2-2x+y^2-2y=0

Add the square of half the coefficients of the x and y terms to both sides of the equation:


x^2-2x+\left((-2)/(2)\right)^2+y^2-2y+\left((-2)/(2)\right)^2=0+\left((-2)/(2)\right)^2+\left((-2)/(2)\right)^2


x^2-2x+1+y^2-2y+1=2

Factor the perfect square trinomials:


(x^2-2x+1)+(y^2-2y+1)=2


(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=2

Therefore, the given polar form converted to rectangular form is:


\boxed{(x-1)^2+(y-1)^2=2}


\hrulefill

Question 5

To convert an equation in rectangular form to polar form, we can use the following relationships:


\boxed{\begin{aligned}r \cos \theta&=x\\\\r \sin \theta&=y\\\\r^2&=x^2+y^2\end{aligned}}

Given rectangular equation:


x = y^2

Substitute the expressions for x and y:


r \cos \theta=(r \sin \theta)^2


r \cos \theta=r^2 \sin^2 \theta

Divide both sides of the equation by r sin² θ:


\begin{aligned}(r \cos \theta)/(r\sin^2 \theta)&=(r^2 \sin^2 \theta)/(r\sin^2 \theta)\\\\(\cos \theta)/(\sin^2 \theta)&=r\\\\r&=(\cos \theta)/(\sin^2 \theta)\\\\r&=(\cos \theta)/(\sin \theta)\cdot (1)/(\sin \theta)\end{aligned}

Use the following trigonometric identities to simplify:


\boxed{\begin{minipage}{4 cm}\underline{Trigonometric Identities}\\\\$\cot \theta=(\cos \theta)/(\sin \theta)$\\\\\\$\csc \theta=(1)/(\sin \theta)$\\\end{minipage}}

Therefore, the given rectangular form converted to polar form is:


\boxed{r=\cot \theta \csc \theta}
