1. START UP DAY 62
Kirby hits a ball when it is 4 ft above the ground with an initial velocity of 120 ft/sec. The ball leaves the bat at a 30° angle with the horizontal and heads toward a 30-ft fence 350 ft from home plate. (a) Does the ball clear the fence? (b) If so, by how much does it clear the fence? If not, could the ball be caught?
Parameterize the line through (2, -3) and (5, 1)

OBJECTIVE: SWBAT convert from a polar equation to a rectangular equation with and without the use of technology.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS: What are polar coordinates? What is the Polar Axis? Why are there multiple representations for the same point? How do we convert polar coordinates to rectangular? How do we convert rectangular to polar?

3. Definition of Polar Coordinates
Polar Coordinates are two values that locate a point on a plane by its distance from a fixed pole and its angle from a fixed line passing through the pole

4. The Polar Plane
POLE
POLAR AXIS

5. EXAMPLE: GET the POINT?
Given:
(2, л/3)

6. Get the Point? (2, л/3)
Move out to the circle of radius “r” along the POLAR AXIS ( or the x-axis)
Use “θ”, in STANDARD POSTION, to rotate to get to the point.

7. Try a few and see what you can do!
P (3, – /6)
O (-2, 3 /2)
L (3, - 45°)
A (-1, 5 /3)
R (4, 150°)

8. Multiple Representations for the same point?
The coordinates (r,  ) and
(r,  + 2n) represent the same point.
Another way to obtain multiple representations of a point is to use negative values for r.
Because r is a directed distance, the coordinates (r,  ) and (–r,  + ) represent the same point

9. Polar Rectangular POLAR RECTANGULAR (0,0) is called the origin
Coordinates are in form (x,y)
(0,0) is called the pole
Coordinates are in form (r, θ)

10. POLAR Rectangular
The hypotenuse is the radius with a length of r. The sides are x (adjacent) and y (opposite).
By using these properties, we get that:
x = r cos θ & y = r sin θ where r2= x2+y2
and tan θ = y/x
2, л/3 r y x

11. How can we go back? Rectangular Polar

12. Rectangular Polar
FIRST determine your “circle” by finding “r” NEXT, determine your angle of rotation, or “θ” ( Just remember that it will be easier to see as a degree and you may have to adjust for quadrant location)
