How do you convert #2=(x+7y)^2-12x# into polar form?
1 Answer
See explanation and graph.
Explanation:
Upon using
/
The purpose of this conversion is not known.
Analysis of the given Cartesian equation that represents a
parabola is relatively quite easier.
It is known that, if the second degree terms form a perfect
square, a second degree equation represents a parabola.
I know that the readers would like what follows.
The axis and the tangent at the vertex are at right angles. So, the
equation of any parabola can be converted to the form
Axis:
Tangent at the vertex: .
I have worked this out here. It is
(x + 7y - 0.12 )^2 = 1.68 ( 7x - y ) + 2.0144. See graph.
graph{((x+7y)^2-12x-2)(x + 7y - 0.12 )(1.68 ( 7x - y ) + 2.0144)=0}
