In summary, Region D in Polar Coord is the second quadrant in a polar coordinate system with a theta angle between 90 and 180 degrees. It is represented by points with positive radius and negative theta values. The coordinates of points in this region are (r, -θ). Real-life examples of Region D include the position of a boat or plane traveling northeast, storm movement, and satellite orbits. In mathematics and science, Region D is used for data representation and analysis, as well as in navigation, astronomy, and engineering applications.

How would you write the region D given by

[tex]
\[D: \left\{
\begin{array}{l l}
\frac{-d}{2} \leq y \leq \frac{d}{2} \\
-\infty < x < \infty \\ \end{array} \right. \]
[/tex]

in polar coordinates?

first think about how you write the equation of a straight line in polar coord...

Or, more specifically, how to write x and y in polar coordinates. Replace x and y in the inequalities with those and solve the inequalities.
 

FAQ: How to Express Region D in Polar Coordinates?

1. What is Region D in Polar Coord?

Region D in Polar Coord refers to the area in a polar coordinate system where the theta angle is between 90 and 180 degrees. This region is also known as the second quadrant.

2. How is Region D represented in a polar coordinate system?

In a polar coordinate system, Region D is represented by points with positive values for the radius and negative values for the theta angle.

3. What are the coordinates of points in Region D?
