Homework Statement
I need to get y = mx in polar form. I looked at it logically, and I figured I needed a function f(x) that will resolve 0 when x =/= 0, and will resolve 1 when x = 0. I thought for a while, and then realized that sine sort of does that, and just needs a tweak to do it exactly:
[tex] r = cos^\infty(\theta - c) [/tex]
But this function, although great, is cumbersome. I can't find any other formulas, and my attempts to derive one only equal in cancellations on both sides.
Homework Equations
x = rcos(theta)
y = rsin(theta)
m = tan(theta)
Anything else you can think of.
Just to make it clear, I would like it in r form, I know of the [tex]\theta = \varphi[/tex] equation.
