2 5144_Demana_Ch06pp /11/06 9:31 PM Page CHAPTER 6 Applications of Trigonometr JAMES BERNOULLI ( ) The first member of the Bernoulli famil (driven out of Holland b the Spanish persecutions and settled in Switzerland) to achieve mathematical fame, James defined the numbers now known as Bernoulli numbers. He determined the form (the elastica) taken b an elastic rod acted on at one end b a given force and fied at the other end. Chapter 6 Overview We introduce vectors in the plane, perform vector operations, and use vectors to represent quantities such as force and velocit. Vector methods are used etensivel in phsics, engineering, and applied mathematics. Vectors are used to plan airplane flight paths. The trigonometric form of a comple number is used to obtain De Moivre s theorem and find the nth roots of a comple number. Parametric equations are studied and used to simulate motion. One of the principal applications of parametric equations is the analsis of motion in space. Polar coordinates another of Newton s inventions, although James Bernoulli usuall gets the credit because he published first are used to represent points in the coordinate plane. Planetar motion is best described with polar coordinates. We convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates, polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, and stud graphs of polar equations. 6.1 Vectors in the Plane What ou ll learn about Two-Dimensional Vectors Vector Operations Unit Vectors Direction Angles Applications of Vectors... and wh These topics are important in man real-world applications, such as calculating the effect of the wind on an airplane s path. OBJECTIVE Students will be able to appl the arithmetic of vectors and use vectors to solve real-world problems. MOTIVATE Discuss the difference between the statements: Jose lives 3 miles awa from Mar and Jose lives 3 miles west of Mar. LESSON GUIDE Da 1: Two-Dimensional Vectors; Vector Operations Da : Unit Vectors, Direction Angles; Applications of Vectors Two-Dimensional Vectors Some quantities, like temperature, distance, height, area, and volume, can be represented b a single real number that indicates magnitude or size. Other quantities, such as force, velocit, and acceleration, have magnitude and direction. Since the number of possible directions for an object moving in a plane is infinite, ou might be surprised to learn that two numbers are all that we need to represent both the magnitude of an object s velocit and its direction of motion. We simpl look at ordered pairs of real numbers in a new wa. While the pair (a, b) determines a point in the plane, it also determines a directed line segment (or arrow ) with its tail at the origin and its head at (a, b) (Figure 6.1). The length of this arrow represents magnitude, while the direction in which it points represents direction. Because in this contet the ordered pair (a, b) represents a mathematical object with both magnitude and direction, we call it the position vector of (a, b), and denote it as a, b to distinguish it from the point (a, b). O (a) (a, b) O FIGURE 6.1 The point represents the ordered pair (a, b). The arrow (directed line segment) represents the vector a, b. a, b (b) (a, b)

3 5144_Demana_Ch06pp /11/06 9:31 PM Page 503 SECTION 6.1 Vectors in the Plane 503 IS AN ARROW A VECTOR? While an arrow represents a vector, it is not a vector itself, since each vector can be represented b an infinite number of equivalent arrows. Still, it is hard to avoid referring to the vector PQ in practice, and we will often do that ourselves. When we sa the vector u PQ, we reall mean the vector u represented b PQ. DEFINITION Two-Dimensional Vector A two-dimensional vector v is an ordered pair of real numbers, denoted in component form as a, b. The numbers a and b are the components of the vector v. The standard representation of the vector a, b is the arrow from the origin to the point (a, b). The magnitude of v is the length of the arrow, and the direction of v is the direction in which the arrow is pointing. The vector 0 0, 0, called the zero vector, has zero length and no direction. S( 1, 6) P(3, 4) It is often convenient in applications to represent vectors with arrows that begin at points other than the origin. The important thing to remember is that an two arrows with the same length and pointing in the same direction represent the same vector. In Figure 6., for eample, the vector 3, 4 is shown represented b RS, an arrow with initial point R and terminal point S, as well as b its standard representation OP. Two arrows that represent the same vector are called equivalent. R( 4, ) O(0, 0) The quick wa to associate arrows with the vectors the represent is to use the following rule. FIGURE 6. The arrows RS and OP both represent the vector 3, 4, as would an arrow with the same length pointing in the same direction. Such arrows are called equivalent. Head Minus Tail (HMT) Rule If an arrow has initial point 1, 1 and terminal point,, it represents the vector 1, 1. EXAMPLE 1 Showing Arrows are Equivalent Show that the arrow from R ( 4, ) to S ( 1, 6) is equivalent to the arrow from P (, 1) to Q (5, 3) (Figure 6.3). S( 1, 6) R( 4, ) Q(5, 3) O P(, 1) FIGURE 6.3 The arrows RS and PQ appear to have the same magnitude and direction. The Head Minus Tail Rule proves that the represent the same vector (Eample 1). SOLUTION Appling the HMT rule, we see that RS represents the vector 1 ( 4), 6 3, 4, while PQ represents the vector 5, 3 ( 1) 3, 4. Although the have different positions in the plane, these arrows represent the same vector and are therefore equivalent. Now tr Eercise 1.

EXPLORATION 1 Vector Archer See how well ou can direct arrows in the plane using vector information and the HMT Rule. 1. An arrow has initial point (, 3) and terminal point (7, 5). What vector does it represent? 5,. An arrow has initial point (3, 5) and represents the vector 3, 6. What is the terminal point? 0, If P is the point (4, 3) and PQ represents, 4, find Q. 6, 7 4. If Q is the point (4, 3) and PQ represents, 4, find P., 1 If ou handled Eploration 1 with relative ease, ou have a good understanding of how vectors are represented geometricall b arrows. This will help ou understand the algebra of vectors, beginning with the concept of magnitude. The magnitude of a vector v is also called the absolute value of v, so it is usuall denoted b v. (You might see v in some tetbooks.) Note that it is a nonnegative real number, not a vector. The following computational rule follows directl from the distance formula in the plane (Figure 6.4). WHAT ABOUT DIRECTION? You might epect a quick computational rule for direction to accompan the rule for magnitude, but direction is less easil quantified. We will deal with vector direction later in the section. Magnitude If v is represented b the arrow from 1, 1 to,, then v 1 1. If v a, b, then v a b. P( 3, 4) Q( 5, ) v O(0, 0) (, ) EXAMPLE Finding Magnitude of a Vector Find the magnitude of the vector v represented b PQ,where P ( 3, 4) and Q ( 5, ). SOLUTION Working directl with the arrow, v ( 5 ( 3)) ( 4). Or, the HMT Rule shows that v,, so v ( ) ) (. (See Figure 6.5.) Now tr Eercise 5. FIGURE 6.5 The vector v of Eample. Vector Operations The algebra of vectors sometimes involves working with vectors and numbers at the same time. In this contet we refer to the numbers as scalars. The two most basic algebraic operations involving vectors are vector addition (adding a vector to a vector) and scalar multiplication (multipling a vector b a number). Both operations are easil represented geometricall, and both have immediate applications to man real-world problems.

5 5144_Demana_Ch06pp /11/06 9:3 PM Page 505 SECTION 6.1 Vectors in the Plane 505 WHAT ABOUT VECTOR MULTIPLICATION? There is a useful wa to define the multiplication of two vectors in fact, there are two useful was, but neither one of them follows the simple pattern of vector addition. (You ma recall that matri multiplication did not follow the simple pattern of matri addition either, and for similar reasons.) We will look at the dot product in Section 6.. The cross product requires a third dimension, so we will not deal with it in this course. DEFINITION Vector Addition and Scalar Multiplication Let u u 1, u and v v 1, v be vectors and let k be a real number (scalar). The sum (or resultant ) of the vectors u and v is the vector u v u 1 v 1, u v. The product of the scalar k and the vector u is ku k u 1, u ku 1, ku. The sum of the vectors u and v can be represented geometricall b arrows in two was. In the tail-to-head representation, the standard representation of u points from the origin to u 1, u. The arrow from u 1, u to u 1 v 1, u v represents v (as ou can verif b the HMT Rule). The arrow from the origin to u 1 v 1, u v then represents u v (Figure 6.6a). In the parallelogram representation, the standard representations of u and v determine a parallelogram, the diagonal of which is the standard representation of u v (Figure 6.6b). v u u + v u v u + v (a) (b) FIGURE 6.6 Two was to represent vector addition geometricall: (a) tail-to-head, and (b) parallelogram. u u (1/)u u FIGURE 6.7 Representations of u and several scalar multiples of u. The product ku of the scalar k and the vector u can be represented b a stretch (or shrink) of u b a factor of k. If k > 0, then ku points in the same direction as u; if k < 0, then ku points in the opposite direction (Figure 6.7). EXAMPLE 3 Performing Vector Operations Let u 1, 3 and v 4, 7. Find the component form of the following vectors: (a) u v (b) 3u (c) u ( 1)v SOLUTION Using the vector operations as defined, we have: (a) u v 1, 3 4, 7 1 4, 3 7 3, 10 (b) 3u 3 1, 3 3, 9 (c) u ( 1)v 1, 3 ( 1) 4, 7, 6 4, 7 6, 1 Geometric representations of u v and 3u are shown in Figure 6.8 on the net page. continued

6 5144_Demana_Ch06pp /11/06 9:3 PM Page CHAPTER 6 Applications of Trigonometr (3, 10) v 3u = 3, 9 ( 1, 3) u + v u u = 1, 3 (a) (b) FIGURE 6.8 Given that u 1, 3 and v 4, 7, we can (a) represent u v b the tail-to-head method, and (b) represent 3u as a stretch of u b a factor of 3. Now tr Eercise 13. A WORD ABOUT VECTOR NOTATION Both notations, a, b and ai bj, are designed to conve the idea that a single vector v has two separate components. This is what makes a twodimensional vector two-dimensional. You will see both a, b, c and ai bj ck used for three-dimensional vectors, but scientists stick to the notation for dimensions higher than three. Unit Vectors A vector u with length u 1 is a unit vector. If v is not the zero vector 0, 0, then the vector v 1 u v v v is a unit vector in the direction of v. Unit vectors provide a wa to represent the direction of an nonzero vector. An vector in the direction of v, or the opposite direction, is a scalar multiple of this unit vector u. EXAMPLE 4 Finding a Unit Vector Find a unit vector in the direction of v 3,, and verif that it has length 1. SOLUTION v 3, 3 1 3, so v 1 3, v 1 3 3, The magnitude of this vector is 3, ( 1 3 ) 3 ( ) Thus, the magnitude of v v is 1. Its direction is the same as v because it is a positive scalar multiple of v. Now tr Eercise 1.

The two unit vectors i 1, 0 and j 0, 1 are the standard unit vectors. An vector v can be written as an epression in terms of the standard unit vectors: v a, b a, 0 0, b a 1, 0 b 0, 1 ai bj Here the vector v a, b is epressed as the linear combination ai bj of the vectors i and j. The scalars a and b are the horizontal and vertical components, respectivel, of the vector v. See Figure 6.9. Direction Angles You ma recall from our applications in Section 4.8 that direction is measured in different was in different contets, especiall in navigation. A simple but precise wa to specif the direction of a vector v is to state its direction angle, the angle that v makes with the positive -ais, just as we did in Section 4.3. Using trigonometr (Figure 6.10), we see that the horizontal component of v is v cos and the vertical component is v sin. Solving for these components is called resolving the vector. Resolving the Vector If v has direction angle, the components of v can be computed using the formula v v cos, v sin. v = a, b 6 O 115 FIGURE 6.11 The direction angle of v is 115. (Eample 5) From the formula above, it follows that the unit vector in the direction of v is v u cos, sin. v EXAMPLE 5 Finding the Components of a Vector Find the components of the vector v with direction angle 115 and magnitude 6 Figure SOLUTION If a and b are the horizontal and vertical components, respectivel, of v, then v a, b 6 cos 115, 6 sin 115. So, a 6 cos and b 6 sin Now tr Eercise 9.

Applications of Vectors The velocit of a moving object is a vector because velocit has both magnitude and direction. The magnitude of velocit is speed mph FIGURE 6.13 The airplane s path (bearing) in Eample 7. TEACHING NOTE Encourage students to draw pictures to analze the geometr of various situations. v EXAMPLE 7 Writing Velocit as a Vector A DC-10 jet aircraft is fling on a bearing of 65 at 500 mph. Find the component form of the velocit of the airplane. Recall that the bearing is the angle that the line of travel makes with due north, measured clockwise see Section 4.1, Figure 4.. SOLUTION Let v be the velocit of the airplane. A bearing of 65 is equivalent to a direction angle of 5. The plane s speed, 500 mph, is the magnitude of vector v; that is, v 500. See Figure The horizontal component of v is 500 cos 5 and the vertical component is 500 sin 5, so v 500 cos 5 i 500 sin 5 j 500 cos 5, 500 sin , The components of the velocit give the eastward and northward speeds. That is, the airplane travels about mph eastward and about mph northward as it travels at 500 mph on a bearing of 65. Now tr Eercise 41.

EXAMPLE 8 Calculating the Effect of Wind Velocit Pilot Megan McCart s flight plan has her leaving San Francisco International Airport and fling a Boeing 77 due east. There is a 65-mph wind with the bearing 60. Find the compass heading McCart should follow, and determine what the airplane s ground speed will be assuming that its speed with no wind is 450 mph.

Vector v AD represents the resulting velocit, so v AD AC AB. We must find the bearing of AB and v. Resolving the vectors, we obtain AC 65 cos 30, 65 sin 30 AB 450 cos, 450 sin AD AC AB 65 cos cos, 65 sin sin Because the plane is traveling due east, the second component of AD must be zero. 65 sin sin 0 sin ( 1 65 sin30 45 ) Thus, the compass heading McCart should follow is Bearing 90 The ground speed of the airplane is v AD 6 5 c o s c o s 0 65 cos cos Using the unrounded value of.

CHAPTER OPENER PROBLEM (from page 501) PROBLEM: During one part of its migration, a salmon is swimming at 6 mph, and the current is flowing downstream at 3 mph at an angle of 7 degrees. How fast is the salmon moving upstream? SOLUTION: Assume the salmon is swimming in a plane parallel to the surface of the water. A θ current salmon swimming in still water B salmon net velocit C In the figure, vector AB represents the current of 3 mph, is the angle CAB,which is 7 degrees, the vector CA represents the velocit of the salmon of 6 mph, and the vector CB is the net velocit at which the fish is moving upstream.

Dot Product of Vectors What ou ll learn about The Dot Product Angle Between Vectors Projecting One Vector onto Another Work... and wh Vectors are used etensivel in mathematics and science applications such as determining the net effect of several forces acting on an object and computing the work done b a force acting on an object. The Dot Product Vectors can be multiplied in two different was, both of which are derived from their usefulness for solving problems in vector applications. The cross product (or vector product or outer product) results in a vector perpendicular to the plane of the two vectors being multiplied, which takes us into a third dimension and outside the scope of this chapter. The dot product (or scalar product or inner product) results in a scalar. In other words, the dot product of two vectors is not a vector but a real number! It is the important information conveed b that number that makes the dot product so worthwhile, as ou will see. Now that ou have some eperience with vectors and arrows, we hope we won t confuse ou if we occasionall resort to the common convention of using arrows to name the vectors the represent. For eample, we might write u PQ as a shorthand for u is the vector represented b PQ. This greatl simplifies the discussion of concepts like vector projection. Also, we will continue to use both vector notations, a, b and ai bj, so ou will get some practice with each.

DOT PRODUCTS ON CALCULATORS It is reall a waste of time to compute a simple dot product of two-dimensional vectors using a calculator, but it can be done. Some calculators do vector operations outright, and others can do vector operations via matrices. If ou have learned about matri multiplication alread, ou will know wh the matri v [ 1 ] v product [u 1, u ] ields the dot product u 1, u v 1, v as a 1-b-1 matri. (The same trick works with vectors of higher dimensions.) This book will cover matri multiplication in Chapter 7. Propert of the dot product gives us another wa to find the length of a vector, as illustrated in Eample. EXAMPLE Using Dot Product to Find Length Use the dot product to find the length of the vector u 4, 3. SOLUTION It follows from Propert that u u u. Thus, 4, 3 4, 3 4, Now tr Eercise 9. Angle Between Vectors Let u and v be two nonzero vectors in standard position as shown in Figure The angle between u and v is the angle,0 or The angle between an two nonzero vectors is the corresponding angle between their respective standard position representatives.

If a, what can ou sa about u v? The terms perpendicular and orthogonal almost mean the same thing. The zero vector has no direction angle, so technicall speaking, the zero vector is not perpendicular to an vector. However, the zero vector is orthogonal to ever vector. Ecept for this special case, orthogonal and perpendicular are the same. EXAMPLE 4 Proving Vectors are Orthogonal Prove that the vectors u, 3 and v 6, 4 are orthogonal.

The combined weight of Juan and the sled is 140 pounds. What force is required for Rafaela to keep the sled from sliding down the hill? (See Figure 6..) SOLUTION We can represent the force due to gravit as F 140j because gravit acts verticall downward. We can represent the side of the hill with the vector v cos 45 i sin 45 j i j. The force required to keep the sled from sliding down the hill is F 1 proj v F ( F v v ) v F v v because v 1. So, F 1 F v v 140 ( ) v 70 i j.

The rock s height in feet above the ground t seconds later (ignoring air resistance) is modeled b 16t 40 as we saw in Section.1. Figure 6.3 shows a coordinate sstem imposed on the scene so that the line of the rock s fall is on the vertical line.5. The rock s original position and its position after each of the first 5 seconds are the points.5, 40,.5, 404,.5, 356,.5, 76,.5, 164,.5, 0, which are described b the pair of equations.5, 16t 40, when t 0, 1,, 3, 4, 5. These two equations are an eample of parametric equations with parameter t. As is often the case, the parameter t represents time.

( ) LESSON GUIDE Da 1: Parametric Equations; Parametric Curves; Eliminating the Parameter; Lines and Line Segments Da : Simulating Motion with a Grapher DEFINITION Parametric Curve, Parametric Equations The graph of the ordered pairs, where f t, g t are functions defined on an interval I of t-values is a parametric curve. The equations are parametric equations for the curve, the variable t is a parameter, and I is the parameter interval. When we give parametric equations and a parameter interval for a curve, we have parametrized the curve. A parametrization of a curve consists of the parametric equations and the interval of t-values. Sometimes parametric equations are used b companies in their design plans. It is then easier for the compan to make larger and smaller objects efficientl b just changing the parameter t. Graphs of parametric equations can be obtained using parametric mode on a grapher. EXAMPLE 1 Graphing Parametric Equations For the given parameter interval, graph the parametric equations t, 3t.

SOLUTION In each case, set Tmin equal to the left endpoint of the interval and Tma equal to the right endpoint of the interval. Figure 6.4 shows a graph of the parametric equations for each parameter interval. The corresponding relations are different because the parameter intervals are different. Now tr Eercise 7.

Eliminating the Parameter When a curve is defined parametricall it is sometimes possible to eliminate the parameter and obtain a rectangular equation in and that represents the curve. This often helps us identif the graph of the parametric curve as illustrated in Eample. EXAMPLE Eliminating the Parameter Eliminate the parameter and identif the graph of the parametric curve 1 t, t, t.

We use this agreement in Eample 3. PARABOLAS The inverse of a parabola that opens up or down is a parabola that opens left or right. We will investigate these curves in more detail in Chapter 8.

You ma want to have our students find alternate parametrizations. EXAMPLE 5 Finding Parametric Equations for a Line Find a parametrization of the line through the points A, 3 and B 3, 6. SOLUTION Let P, be an arbitrar point on the line through A and B. As ou can see from Figure 6.7, the vector OP is the tail-to-head vector sum of OA and AP. You can also see that AP is a scalar multiple of AB. If we let the scalar be t, we have OP OA AP OP OA t AB,, 3 t 3 ( ), 6 3,, 3 t 5, 3, 5t, 3 3t This vector equation is equivalent to the parametric equations 5t and 3 3t. Together with the parameter interval (, ), these equations define the line. We can confirm our work numericall as follows: If t 0, then and 3, which gives the point A. Similarl, if t 1, then 3 and 6, which gives the point B. Now tr Eercise 7. The fact that t 0 ields point A and t 1 ields point B in Eample 5 is no accident, as a little reflection on Figure 6.7 and the vector equation OP OA t AB should suggest.

SOLUTION In Eample 5 we found parametric equations for the line through A and B: 5t, 3 3t. We also saw in Eample 5 that t 0 produces the point A and t 1 produces the point B. A parametrization of the line segment is given b 5t, 3 3t, 0 t 1. As t varies between 0 and 1 we pick up ever point on the line segment between A and B. Now tr Eercise 9.

(Eample 7) GRAPHER NOTE 5 sec later, t = 5 (b) 3 sec after that, t = 8 (c) The equation t is tpicall used in the parametric equations for the graph C in Figure 6.9. We have chosen t to get two curves in Figure 6.9 that do not overlap. Also notice that the -coordinates of C 1 are constant ( 1 5), and that the -coordinates of C var with time t ( t). Simulating Motion with a Grapher Eample 7 illustrates several was to simulate motion along a horizontal line using parametric equations. We use the variable t for the parameter to represent time. EXAMPLE 7 Simulating Horizontal Motion Gar walks along a horizontal line think of it as a number line with the coordinate of his position in meters given b s 0.1 t 3 0t 110t 85 where 0 t 1. Use parametric equations and a grapher to simulate his motion. Estimate the times when Gar changes direction. SOLUTION We arbitraril choose the horizontal line 5 to displa this motion. The graph C 1 of the parametric equations, C 1 : t 3 0t 110t 85, 1 5, 0 t 1, simulates the motion. His position at an time t is given b the point 1 t, 5. Using trace in Figure 6.8 we see that when t 0, Gar is 8.5 m to the right of the -ais at the point 8.5, 5, and that he initiall moves left. Five seconds later he is 9 m to the left of the -ais at the point 9, 5. And after 8 seconds he is onl.7 m to the left of the -ais. Gar must have changed direction during the walk. The motion of the trace cursor simulates Gar s motion. A variation in t, C : 0.1 t 3 0t 110t 85, t, 0 t 1, can be used to help visualize where Gar changes direction. The graph C shown in Figure 6.9 suggests that Gar reverses his direction at 3.9 seconds and again at 9.5 seconds after beginning his walk. Now tr Eercise 37.

Graph the flare s height against time, give the height of the flare above water at each time, and simulate the flare s motion for each length of time. (a) 1 sec (b) sec (c) 4 sec (d) 5 sec SOLUTION An equation that models the flare s height above the water t seconds after launch is 16t 76t 75. A graph of the flare s height against time can be found using the parametric equations 1 t, 1 16t 76t 75. To simulate the flare s flight straight up and its fall to the water, use the parametric equations 5.5, 16t 76t 75. We chose 5.5 so that the two graphs would not intersect. Figure 6.30 shows the two graphs in simultaneous graphing mode for a 0 t 1, b 0 t, c 0 t 4, and d 0 t 5. We can read that the height of the flare above the water after 1 sec is 135 ft, after sec is 163 ft, after 4 sec is 13 ft, and after 5 sec is 55 ft. Now tr Eercise 39.

EXPLORATION EXTENSIONS Using trial and error, determine the minimum angle, to the nearest 0.05, such that the ball clears the fence. In Eample 8 we modeled the motion of a projectile that was launched straight up. Now we investigate the motion of objects, ignoring air friction, that are launched at angles other than 90 with the horizontal. Suppose that a baseball is thrown from a point 0 feet above ground level with an initial speed of v 0 ft sec at an angle with the horizontal Figure The initial velocit can be represented b the vector v v 0 cos, v 0 sin. The path of the object is modeled b the parametric equations v 0 cos t, 16t v 0 sin t 0. The -component is simpl distance -component of initial velocit time. The -component is the familiar vertical projectile-motion equation using the -component of initial velocit. EXAMPLE 9 Hitting a Baseball Kevin hits a baseball at 3 ft above the ground with an initial speed of 150 ft sec at an angle of 18 with the horizontal. Will the ball clear a 0-ft wall that is 400 ft awa? SOLUTION The path of the ball is modeled b the parametric equations 150 cos 18 t, 16t 150 sin 18 t 3. A little eperimentation will show that the ball will reach the fence in less than 3 sec. Figure 6.3 shows a graph of the path of the ball using the parameter interval 0 t 3 and the 0-ft wall.

The parametric equations for this circle in terms of the parameter, the central angle of the circle determined b the arc AP, are 30 cos, sin, 0. To take into account the rate at which the wheel is turning we must describe as a function of time t in seconds. The wheel is turning at the rate of radians ever 10 sec, or 10 5 rad sec. So, 5 t.

OBJECTIVE Students will be able to graph polar equations and determine the maimum r-value and the smmetr of a graph. MOTIVATE Ask students to use a grapher to compare the graphs of the polar equations r tan and r tan for 0. (The graphs are identical.) LESSON GUIDE Da 1: Polar Curves and Parametric Curves; Smmetr; Analzing Polar Graphs; Rose Curves Da : Limaçon Curves; Other Polar Curves TEACHING NOTE When determining smmetr, sometimes onl one of the replacements will appear to produce an equivalent polar equation. For eample, the graph of r is smmetric about the polar ais, but at first glance this equation does not appear to be equivalent to r. Although the pairs (r, ) that solve each equation are different, the graphs of these two equations are the same. Polar Curves and Parametric Curves Polar curves are actuall just special cases of parametric curves. Keep in mind that polar curves are graphed in the (, ) plane, despite the fact that the are given in terms of r and. That is wh the polar graph of r 4 cos is a circle (see Figure 6.41 in Section 6.4) rather than a cosine curve. In function mode, points are determined b a vertical coordinate that changes as the horizontal coordinate moves left to right. In polar mode, points are determined b a directed distance from the pole that changes as the angle sweeps around the pole. The connection is provided b the Coordinate Conversion Equations from Section 6.4, which show that the graph of r f( ) is reall just the graph of the parametric equations f( ) cos f( ) sin for all values of in some parameter interval that suffices to produce a complete graph. (In man of our eamples, 0 will do.) Since modern graphing calculators produce these graphs so easil in polar mode, we are frankl going to assume that ou do not have to sketch them b hand. Instead we will concentrate on analzing the properties of the curves. In later courses ou can discover further properties of the curves using the tools of calculus. Smmetr You learned algebraic tests for smmetr for equations in rectangular form in Section 1.. Algebraic tests also eist for polar form. Figure 6.45 on the net page shows a rectangular coordinate sstem superimposed on a polar coordinate sstem, with the origin and the pole coinciding and the positive -ais and the polar ais coinciding. The three tpes of smmetr figures to be considered will have are: 1. The -ais (polar ais) as a line of smmetr (Figure 6.45a).. The -ais (the line ) as a line of smmetr (Figure 6.45b). 3. The origin (the pole) as a point of smmetr (Figure 6.45c). All three algebraic tests for smmetr in polar forms require replacing the pair r,, which satisfies the polar equation, with another coordinate pair and determining whether it also satisfies the polar equation. Smmetr Tests for Polar Graphs The graph of a polar equation has the indicated smmetr if either replacement produces an equivalent polar equation. To Test for Smmetr Replace B 1. about the -ais, r, r, or r,.. about the -ais, r, r, or r,. 3. about the origin, r, r, or r,.

ALERT Students are used to specifing different viewing windows to control what the see on the graphing screen. On polar graphs, students should be careful to note their selection of the range values for,, and. Since the environment into which the polar coordinates are patched is the rectangular sstem, students need to be concerned about controlling both the viewing window and the polar environment. Encourage students to eperiment with different input values for both the polar function r and the input variable and to observe the effects on the graphs. EXAMPLE 1 Testing for Smmetr Use the smmetr tests to prove that the graph of r 4 sin 3 is smmetric about the -ais. SOLUTION Figure 6.46 suggests that the graph of r 4 sin 3 is smmetric about the -ais and not smmetric about the -ais or origin. r 4 sin 3 r 4 sin 3 Replace r, b r,. r 4 sin 3 r 4 sin 3 sin is an odd function of. r 4 sin 3 (Same as original.) Because the equations r 4 sin 3 and r 4 sin 3 are equivalent, there is smmetr about the -ais. Now tr Eercise 13. Analzing Polar Graphs We analze graphs of polar equations in much the same wa that we analze the graphs of rectangular equations. For eample, the function r of Eample 1 is a continuous function of. Also r 0 when 0 and when is an integer multiple of 3. The domain of this function is the set of all real numbers. Trace can be used to help determine the range of this polar function (Figure 6.47). It can be shown that 4 r 4. Usuall, we are more interested in the maimum value of r rather than the range of r in polar equations. In this case, r 4 so we can conclude that the graph is bounded. A maimum value for r is a maimum r-value for a polar equation. A maimum r-value occurs at a point on the curve that is the maimum distance from the pole. In Figure 6.47, a maimum r-value occurs at 4, 6 and 4,. In fact, we get a maimum r-value at ever r, which represents the tip of one of the three petals.

To find maimum r-values we must find maimum values of r as opposed to the directed distance r. Eample shows one wa to find maimum r-values graphicall. EXAMPLE Finding Maimum r-values Find the maimum r-value of r cos. SOLUTION Figure 6.48a shows the graph of r cos for 0. Because we are onl interested in the values of r, we use the graph of the rectangular equation cos in function graphing mode (Figure 6.48b). From this graph we can see that the maimum value of r, or, is 4. It occurs when is an multiple of. Now tr Eercise 1. EXAMPLE 3 Finding Maimum r-values Identif the points on the graph of r 3 cos for 0 that give maimum r-values. SOLUTION Using trace in Figure 6.49 we can show that there are four points on the graph of r 3 cos in 0 at maimum distance of 3 from the pole: 3, 0, 3,, 3,, and 3, 3. Figure 6.50a shows the directed distances r as the -values of 1 3 cos, and Figure 6.50b shows the distances r as the -values of 3 cos.

Rose Curves The curve in Eample 1 is a 3-petal rose curve and the curve in Eample 3 is a 4-petal rose curve. The graphs of the polar equations r a cos n and r a sin n, where n is an integer greater than 1, are rose curves. If n is odd there are n petals, and if n is even there are n petals. EXAMPLE 4 Analzing a Rose Curve Analze the graph of the rose curve r 3 sin 4. SOLUTION Figure 6.51 shows the graph of the 8-petal rose curve r 3 sin 4. The maimum r-value is 3. The graph appears to be smmetric about the -ais, -ais, and the origin. For eample, to prove that the graph is smmetric about the -ais we replace r, b r, : r 3 sin 4 r 3 sin 4 r 3 sin 4 4 r 3 sin 4 cos 4 cos 4 sin 4 Sine difference identit r 3 0 cos 4 1 sin 4 sin 4 0, cos 4 1 r 3 sin 4 r 3 sin 4 Because the new polar equation is the same as the original equation, the graph is smmetric about the -ais.

The Comple Plane You might be curious as to wh we reviewed comple numbers in Section P.6, then proceeded to ignore them for the net si chapters. (Indeed, after this section we will prett much ignore them again.) The reason is simpl because the ke to understanding calculus is the graphing of functions in the Cartesian plane, which consists of two perpendicular real (not comple) lines. We are not saing that comple numbers are impossible to graph. Just as ever real number is associated with a point of the real number line, ever comple number can be associated with a point of the comple plane. This idea evolved through the work of Caspar Wessel ( ), Jean-Robert Argand ( ) and Carl Friedrich Gauss ( ). Real numbers are placed along the horizontal ais (the real ais ) and imaginar numbers along the vertical ais (the imaginar ais ), thus associating the comple number a bi with the point (a, b). In Figure 6.57 we show the graph of 3i as an eample. Imaginar ais bi a + bi EXAMPLE 1 Plotting Comple Numbers Plot u 1 3i, v i, and u v in the comple plane. These three points and the origin determine a quadrilateral. Is it a parallelogram? Imaginar ais 3i a (a) + 3i Real ais SOLUTION First notice that u v (1 3i) ( i) 3 i. The numbers u, v, and u v are plotted in Figure 6.58a. The quadrilateral is a parallelogram because the arithmetic is eactl the same as in vector addition (Figure 6.58b). Now tr Eercise 1. Imaginar ais u = 1 + 3i u + v = 3 + i u = 1, 3 u + v = 3, Real ais O Real ais O (b) v = i v =, 1 FIGURE 6.57 Plotting points in the comple plane. IS THERE A CALCULUS OF COMPLEX FUNCTIONS? There is a calculus of comple functions. If ou stud it someda, it should onl be after acquiring a prett firm algebraic and geometric understanding of the calculus of real functions. (a) FIGURE 6.58 (a) Two numbers and their sum are plotted in the comple plane. (b) The arithmetic is the same as in vector addition. (Eample 1) Eample 1 shows how the comple plane representation of comple number addition is virtuall the same as the Cartesian plane representation of vector addition. Another similarit between comple numbers and two-dimensional vectors is the definition of absolute value. (b)

51 5144_Demana_Ch06pp /11/06 9:34 PM Page 551 SECTION 6.6 De Moivre s Theorem and nth Roots 551 OBJECTIVE Students will be able to represent comple numbers in the comple plane and write them in trigonometric form. The will be able to use trigonometric form to simplif some algebraic operations with comple numbers. MOTIVATE Have students find all solutions of the equation z 4 1, where z is a comple number. (z 1, z i) POLAR FORM What s in a cis? Trigonometric (or polar) form appears frequentl enough in scientific tets to have an abbreviated form. The epression cos i sin is often shortened to cis (pronounced kiss ). Thus z r cis. DEFINITION Absolute Value (Modulus) of a Comple Number The absolute value or modulus of a comple number z a bi is z a bi a b. In the comple plane, a bi is the distance of a bi from the origin. Trigonometric Form of Comple Numbers Figure 6.59 shows the graph of z a bi in the comple plane. The distance r from the origin is the modulus of z. If we define a direction angle for z just as we did with vectors, we see that a r cos and b r sin. Substituting these epressions for a and b gives us the trigonometric form (or polar form ) of the comple number z. Imaginar ais z = a + bi LESSON GUIDE Da 1: The Comple Plane; Trigonometric Form of Comple Numbers; Multiplication and Division of Comple Numbers Da : Powers of Comple Numbers; Roots of Comple Numbers r θ a = r cos u b = r sin u Real ais FIGURE 6.59 If r is the distance of z a bi from the origin and is the directional angle shown, then z r (cos i sin ), which is the trigonometric form of z. DEFINITION Trigonometric Form of a Comple Number The trigonometric form of the comple number z a bi is z r cos i sin where a r cos, b r sin, r a b, and tan b a. The number r is the absolute value or modulus of z,and is an argument of z. An angle for the trigonometric form of z can alwas be chosen so that 0, although an angle coterminal with could be used. Consequentl, the angle and argument of a comple number z are not unique. It follows that the trigonometric form of a comple number z is not unique.

Multiplication and Division of Comple Numbers The trigonometric form for comple numbers is particularl convenient for multipling and dividing comple numbers. The product involves the product of the moduli and the sum of the arguments. (Moduli is the plural of modulus.) The quotient involves the quotient of the moduli and the difference of the arguments.

ONGOING ASSESSMENT Self-Assessment: E. 1, 7, 19, 3, 31, 35, 45, 57, 59 Embedded Assessment: E. 71, 7, 78 We use De Moivre s theorem to develop a general formula for finding the nth roots of a nonzero comple number. Suppose that v s cos i sin is an nth root of z r cos i sin.then v n z [s cos i sin ] n r cos i sin s n cos n i sin n r cos i sin (1) Net, we take the absolute value of both sides: s n cos n i sin na r cos i sin s co s n n s in n r c o s s in s n r s n r s 0, r 0 s n r Substituting s n r into Equation (1), we obtain cos n i sin n cos i sin. Therefore, n can be an angle coterminal with. Consequentl, for an integer k, v is an nth root of z if s n r and n k k. n The epression for v takes on n different values for k 0, 1,, n 1, and the values start to repeat for k n, n 1,. We summarize this result.

65 5144_Demana_Ch06pp /11/06 9:34 PM Page 565 CHAPTER 6 Project 565 CHAPTER 6 Project Parametrizing Ellipses As ou discovered in the Chapter 4 Data Project, it is possible to model the displacement of a swinging pendulum using a sinusoidal equation of the form a sin b t c d where represents the pendulum s distance from a fied point and t represents total elapsed time. In fact, a pendulum s velocit behaves sinusoidall as well: ab cos b t c, where represents the pendulum s velocit and a, b, and c are constants common to both the displacement and velocit equations. Use a motion detection device to collect distance, velocit, and time data for a pendulum, then determine how a resulting plot of velocit versus displacement (called a phase-space plot) can be modeled using parametric equations. COLLECTING THE DATA Construct a simple pendulum b fastening about 1 meter of string to the end of a ball. Collect time, distance, and velocit readings for between and 4 seconds (enough time to capture at least one complete swing of the pendulum). Start the pendulum swinging in front of the detector, then activate the sstem. The data table below shows a sample set of data collected as a pendulum swung back and forth in front of a CBR where t is total elapsed time in seconds, d distance from the CBR in meters, v velocit in meters second. t d v t d v t d v EXPLORATIONS 1. Create a scatter plot for the data ou collected or the data above.. With our calculator computer in function mode, find values for a, b, c, and d so that the equation a sin b c d (where is distance and is time) fits the distance versus time data plot. 0.8 sin(3.46( 1.47)) Make a scatter plot of velocit versus time. Using the same a, b, and c values ou found in,verif that the equation ab cos b c (where is velocit and is time) fits the velocit versus time data plot. 4. What do ou think a plot of velocit versus distance (with velocit on the vertical ais and distance on the horizontal ais) would look like? Make a rough sketch of our prediction, then create a scatter plot of velocit versus distance. How well did our predicted graph match the actual data plot? 5. With our calculator computer in parametric mode, graph the parametric curve a sin b t c d, ab cos b t c, 0 t where represents distance, represents velocit, and t is the time parameter. How well does this curve match the scatter plot of velocit versus time?
