Study Notes
Transforming Coordinates
-
Polar to Cartesian:
- Use the formulas:
- x = r cos θ
- y = r sin θ
- Use the formulas:
-
Cartesian to Polar:
- Use the formulas:
- r = √(x² + y²)
- θ = tan⁻¹(y/x)
- Be mindful of the quadrant of the point (x,y) to determine correct value of θ
- Use the formulas:
Rotating Axes
-
Rotating the Coordinate Axes:
- The formulas for rotating the axes by an angle θ are:
- x = X cos θ - Y sin θ
- y = X sin θ + Y cos θ
-
Inverse equations:
- X = x cos θ + y sin θ
- Y = -x sin θ + y cos θ
- The coefficients of x and y are the transformation matrix:
X Y x cos θ -sin θ y sin θ cos θ
- The formulas for rotating the axes by an angle θ are:
-
Eliminating the xy Term:
- The coefficient of the xy term in the transformed equation is 2h(cos²θ - sin²θ) - 2(a - b) sin θ cos θ.
- To eliminate the xy term, set this coefficient to zero:
- tan 2θ = 2h / (a - b)
- θ = (1/2) tan⁻¹(2h / (a - b))
-
Transforming to Simplest Form:
- Step 1: Translate the axes to a new origin O'(α, β) by finding the values of α and β that make the partial derivatives of the original equation equal to 0.
- Step 2: Find the angle θ to eliminate the xy term in the transformed equation by using the formula θ = (1/2) tan⁻¹(2h / (a - b)).
- Step 3: Apply the rotation using the formulas x = X cos θ - Y sin θ and y = X sin θ + Y cos θ.
- Step 4: Substitute the translated and rotated coordinates into the original equation to obtain the simplest form.
- Note: The sum of the coefficients of x² and y² (a + b) remains unchanged under rotation.
