SparklyUnicorn Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 question asks A polar curve has the equation r=f(theta)=4sin(theta). Find dy/dx, the slope of the polar curve, and simplify to a single trigonometric function. ---- Errr...where would I find the slope? Shouldn't it ask for a specific point? I think this question is missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 In my mind, it would be better written as « find dy/dx, the equation for the slope ». It just sounds like they are using dy/dx followed by the appositive « slope ». Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
