Parametric equations, polar coordinates, and vector-valued functions
We are used to working with functions whose output is a single variable, and whose graph is defined with Cartesian, i.e., (x,y) coordinates. But there can be other functions! For example, vector-valued functions can have two variables or more as outputs! Polar functions are graphed using polar coordinates, i.e., they take an angle as an input and output a radius! Learn about these functions and how we apply the concepts of the derivative and the integral on them.
This course contains 9 segments:
Defining and differentiating parametric equations
Second derivatives of parametric equations
Finding arc lengths of curves given by parametric equations
Defining and differentiating vector-valued functions
Solving motion problems using parametric and vector-valued functions
Defining polar coordinates and differentiating in polar form
Finding the area of a polar region or the area bounded by a single polar curve
Finding the area of the region bounded by two polar curves
