    Transform explicit function to polar form

    I guess for my example it's not possible, thank for your replies !

    What is the relationship between the derivative and inverse function?

    I read all comments, thanks for your quick replies! @krb17: for my example: y = x^2 ; given x = +(-)2 => y (looking for) = 4 x = +(-)sqrt(y) ; given y = 4 => x (looking for) = +(-) 2 The purpose of the inverse function was that we want to find the value of x when the value of y was...

    What is the relationship between the derivative and inverse function?

    @hunt mat: can you explain that to me with an example ? @JJacquelin: I made a graph of what you wrote: y=x^2 is the explicit function (purple) x-sqrt(y) = 0 is the implicit function (red) those are the same functions... I think the inverse function is: f-1(y)=y^2 =x because...

    What is the relationship between the derivative and inverse function?

    Hello, I'am suffering with the theoretical background. My course state the follow thing: D(f-1(y))=1/D(f(x)). So: f-1(y) is the inverse function of f(x), this means that the argument of f-1(y) is y! Example: y = f(x) = x^2 => f-1(y): x = y^2. Am I correct with is one ? The chain...

    Transform explicit function to polar form

    Oké, but there exist an equation in polar form to describe the cartesian equation ? Because there al multiple x,y coordinates, and one of them wil point to the cartesian equation as you explained... greetz

    Transform explicit function to polar form

    Hello, thank you all for quick replies ! The cartesian equation y = 2.sin(x)-3 has indeed x as argument; ofcourse in radians. But what I know form transformation to polar form is that the y x plane transforms to a r \theta plane. Being \theta tha angle between r and de x axle. In my case...

    Transform explicit function to polar form

    Hello, I'am new here and happy to find this great forum! Here's my first question: there's an explicit function as follows: y=2.sin(x)-1 The transformation to polar form (r=3cos(\theta)) - x=r.cos(\theta) - y=r.sin(\theta) So I get: r.sin(\theta)=2.sin(r.cos(\theta))-1 Now you see...
