    Polar Rectangular
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting the polar equation r=3/(4cosθ-sinθ) into rectangular form. The key equations used include r=√(x²+y²), x=rcosθ, and y=rsinθ. The solution process involves eliminating the denominator, leading to the equation 4x-y=3. Participants confirm that this transformation is correct. The conversion successfully translates the polar coordinates into rectangular coordinates.

Yes, that's correct.
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Greatest possible value of a constant in polynomial'

Since ##px^9+q## is the factor, then ##x^9=\frac{-q}{p}## will be one of the roots. Let ##f(x)=27x^{18}+bx^9+70##, then: $$27\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)^2+b\left(\frac{-q}{p}\right)+70=0$$ $$b=27 \frac{q}{p}+70 \frac{p}{q}$$ $$b=\frac{27q^2+70p^2}{pq}$$ From this expression, it looks like there is no greatest value of ##b## because increasing the value of ##p## and ##q## will also increase the value of ##b##. How to find the greatest value of ##b##? Thanks
