    Sketch the Curve in Polar Coordinates

    Correct, so that part of the problem I understand.. I am just digging right now trying to figure out how I can find the rectangular points. I know the formulas: r^2 = x^2 + y^2 x = r cos(θ) y = r sin(θ) ...and while typing this I think I figured it out. So I could pick random θ's that...

    Sketch the Curve in Polar Coordinates

    Attached is graph a little larger, I used increments of .5 instead of 1 and it looks better now. The only part of the question I don't understand is the part after the graphing that says: Carefully label at least three points not on either of the axes. I did not realize there were axes on a...

    Sketch the Curve in Polar Coordinates

    Homework Statement Sketch the curve r = 1 + 2cosθ in polar coordinates. Homework Equations None that I can think of, it's graphing. The Attempt at a Solution What I was trying to was use the method of finding cartesian coordinates and plugging different values of θ into the equation to...

    Mathematical Description of a Wave

    Here is the question: Transverse waves on a string have a wave speed of 8.00 m/s, amplitude of 0.0700m, and a wavelength of 0.320m. The waves travel in the -x direction, and at t=0, the end of the string (x=0) has its maximum upward displacement. a)What is the frequency, period, and wave...
