Example Question #144 : Polar

What is the derivative of $r=3+5sin\theta$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}{5+3\sin\theta}$

$-\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta-3\cos\theta}{5-3\sin\theta}$

$\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta-3\cos\theta}{5-3\sin\theta}$

$\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}{5cos^{2}\theta-3\sin\theta-5sin^{2}\theta}$

$-\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}{5-3\sin\theta}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}{5cos^{2}\theta-3\sin\theta-5sin^{2}\theta}$

Explanation:

In order to find the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ of a polar equation $r=3+5sin\theta$ , we must first find the derivative of with respect to $\theta$ as follows:

$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=5cos\theta$

We can then swap the given values of $\frac{dr}{d\theta}$ and into the equation of the derivative of an expression into polar form:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dr}{d\theta}sin\theta+rcos\theta}{\frac{dr}{d\theta}cos\theta-rsin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5cos\theta\sin\theta+(3+5sin\theta)\cos\theta}{5cos\theta\cos\theta-(3+5sin\theta)\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{5cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta+5sin\theta\cos\theta}{5cos\theta\cos\theta-3\sin\theta-5sin\theta\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{10cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}{5cos^{2}\theta-3\sin\theta-5sin^{2}\theta}$

What is the derivative of $r=sin\theta-12$ ?

Possible Answers:

$\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{1+2\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

$\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{1-2\sin^{2}\theta-12\sin\theta}$

$\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{1-2\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

$\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta+12\cos\theta}{1-2\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

$\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta+12\cos\theta}{1+2\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{1-2\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

Explanation:

In order to find the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ of a polar equation $r=sin\theta-12$ , we must first find the derivative of with respect to $\theta$ as follows:

$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=cos\theta$

We can then swap the given values of $\frac{dr}{d\theta}$ and into the equation of the derivative of an expression into polar form:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dr}{d\theta}sin\theta+rcos\theta}{\frac{dr}{d\theta}cos\theta-rsin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos\theta\sin\theta+(\sin\theta-12)cos\theta}{\cos\theta\cos\theta-(\sin\theta-12)sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\cos\theta\sin\theta+\sin\theta\cos\theta-12\cos\theta}{\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

Using the trigonometric identity $\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$ , we can deduce that $\cos^{2}\theta=1-\sin^{2}\theta$ . Swapping this into the denominator, we get:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{(1-\sin^{2}\theta)-\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta-12\cos\theta}{1-2\sin^{2}\theta+12\sin\theta}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{4\cos\theta\sin\theta+7\cos\theta}{2-4\sin^{2}\theta-7\sin\theta}$

Explanation:

In order to find the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ of a polar equation $r=7+2\sin\theta$ , we must first find the derivative of with respect to $\theta$ as follows:

$\frac{dr}{d\theta}=2\cos\theta$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dr}{d\theta}sin\theta+rcos\theta}{\frac{dr}{d\theta}cos\theta-rsin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta+(7+2\sin\theta)\cos\theta}{2\cos\theta\cos\theta-(7+2\sin\theta)\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta+7\cos\theta+2\sin\theta\cos\theta}{2\cos\theta\cos\theta-7\sin\theta-2\sin\theta\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4\cos\theta\sin\theta+7\cos\theta}{2\cos^{2}\theta-7\sin\theta-2\sin^{2}\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4\cos\theta\sin\theta+7\cos\theta}{2(\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)-7\sin\theta}$

Using the trigonometric identity $\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$ , we can deduce that $\cos^{2}\theta=1-\sin^{2}\theta$ . Swapping this into the denominator, we get:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4\cos\theta\sin\theta+7\cos\theta}{2(1-\sin^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)-7\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{4\cos\theta\sin\theta+7\cos\theta}{2(1-2\sin^{2}\theta)-7\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dr}{d\theta}\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{\frac{dr}{d\theta}\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-5\cos\theta\sin\theta+(3-5\sin\theta)\cos\theta}{-5\cos\theta\cos\theta-(3-5\sin\theta)\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-5\cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta-5\sin\theta\cos\theta}{-5\cos\theta\cos\theta-3\sin\theta+5\sin\theta\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-10\cos\theta\sin\theta+3\cos\theta}{-5(\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta)-3\sin\theta}$

Using the trigonometric identity $\sin^{2}\theta+\cos^{2}\theta=1$ , we can deduce that $\cos^{2}\theta=1-\sin^{2}\theta$ . Swapping this into the denominator, we get:

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dr}{d\theta}\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{\frac{dr}{d\theta}\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(-3\cos\theta)\sin\theta+(8-3\sin\theta)\cos\theta}{(-3\cos\theta)\cos\theta-(8-3\sin\theta)\sin\theta}$

$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-3\cos\theta\sin\theta+8\cos\theta-3\sin\theta\cos\theta}{-3\cos^{2}\theta-8\sin\theta+3\sin^{2}\theta}$
