r=10cos(t) in cylindrical coordinates 2013-05-18
From r.m:
question from calculus exam: what is the figure obtained having eqn.r=10cos(t) in cylinderical coordinates? i know it is a cylinder with center (5,0) ,but can't the equation represent two cylinders ,one with center (5,0) and the other with center (-5,0). thanks for any help.

Polar coordinates 2008-03-05
From kumi:
2.Sketch the graph of r=(2)/(1-sinθ). Make sure you show a complete chart demonstrating how you arrive at your sketch, and sketch the graph neatly and clearly with proper labeling.
b. change the equation above to cartesian coordinates and identify the type of graph.
c.explain which coordinate system gives an easier function to graph and why
d.find a function of the form r=f(θ) for a circle centered at (8,π/2) and with the point (0,0) lying on the circle

Three points on the circumference of a circle 2007-07-30
From Bharathi:
given a circle with radius r and a point x,y on its circumference,output two other points x1,y1 and x2,y2 on the circle so thar all 3 points form a equilateral triangle.

A valentines project 2000-02-21
From Courtney Dohoney:
I was assigned a valentines project. Our job is to make a valentines card that has a math theme. On my valentines card I would like to include the set of equations that when graphed look like a heart. If you can figure out a set of equations and get it back to me I would be very happy.
