Find the slope of the tangent at the given angle theta

[QUOTE="Mark44, post: 4993147, member: 147785"] Fixed. What I typed was # #\frac{(dr/dθ)sinθ + rcosθ}{(dr/dθ)cosθ - rsinθ}# # (with no extra spaces between the # pairs). The LaTeX tags come in pairs, with [ itex ] or [ tex ] at the beginning, and [ /itex ] or [ /tex ] at the end (omit the extra spaces. I prefer to use # # at beginning and end (again without the extra spaces, for inline LaTeX, or $ $ at beginning and end for standalone stuff. You have r = 1/θ. When you write x = r cos(θ) and y = r sin(θ), replace r in each equation by 1/θ. Then take your derivatives. Alternatively, you could calculate dr/dθ from r = 1/θ. [/QUOTE]
