having trouble with converting between those coordinate systems. i know how to do it for points, but not for equations...
given in cylindrical coordinates
r=4sin(theta)
express the equation in rectangular coordinates...
<<< answer is x^2+(y-2)^2=4 >>>
um, how do i do that?
also...
given in spherical coordinates...
rho sin (theta) = 2 cos(theta)
<<< answer is (x-1)^2+y^2=1 >>>
express equation in rectangular coordinates...
um, same thing, i don't know how to do this... the book doesn't provide any examples for this and the professor didn't go over it, only went over converting points. it seems like it shouldn't be that hard of a problem, but i don't know how to start it. if anyone could, please help explain how to convert these equations... thanx in advance.
