Conversions between Spherical and other Coordinate systemsPlease record these in your notes __ You do not need to memorize the following formulas but will need to be able to apply them
Spherical coordinates r (due to opposite sides of a parallelogram)
Spherical coordinates Cosφ = z/ρ ρ Cosφ = z sin φ =r/ ρ r = ρ sin φ (save this result) Cosθ = x/r Cosθ = x/(ρ sin φ ) X= ρ sin φ Cosθ
tanθ = y/x tanθ = y/( ρ sin φ Cosθ) (from previous slide) tanθ (ρ sin φ Cosθ) = y sin θ (ρ sin φ Cosθ) =y Cosθ y = ρ sin φ sin θ
Example 5a Find an equation in spherical coordinates for the surface represented by the rectangular equation.
Solution to example 5a Cone: x2 + y 2 = z2
Example 5 b Find an equation in spherical coordinates for the surface represented by the rectangular equation.
Do examples from text book P. 825 # 58,76, cylindrical 76 (76 is shown on the next slide_
Changing between coordinates on the TI 89 Press 2nd 5 (math) – 4 matrices – L Vecor ops to sphere To convert rectangular to Polar (2 D) [1,2,3] to sphere (to is expressed with a triangle) Note: You can change from rectangular to polar, cylindrical or spherical Or change from polar to rectangular with built in functions
