The rectangular coordinate system (or Cartesian plane) provides a means of mapping points to ordered pairs and ordered pairs to points. This is called a
one-to-one mapping from points in the plane to ordered pairs. The polar coordinate system provides an alternative method of mapping points to ordered pairs. In this section we see that in some circumstances, polar coordinates can be more useful than rectangular coordinates.
Defining polar coordinates
To find the coordinates of a point in the polar coordinate system, consider
[link] . The point
has Cartesian coordinates
The line segment connecting the origin to the point
measures the distance from the origin to
and has length
The angle between the positive
-axis and the line segment has measure
This observation suggests a natural correspondence between the coordinate pair
and the values
and
This correspondence is the basis of the
polar coordinate system . Note that every point in the Cartesian plane has two values (hence the term
ordered pair ) associated with it. In the polar coordinate system, each point also two values associated with it:
and
Using right-triangle trigonometry, the following equations are true for the point
Furthermore,
Each point
in the Cartesian coordinate system can therefore be represented as an ordered pair
in the polar coordinate system. The first coordinate is called the
radial coordinate and the second coordinate is called the
angular coordinate . Every point in the plane can be represented in this form.
Note that the equation
has an infinite number of solutions for any ordered pair
However, if we restrict the solutions to values between
and
then we can assign a unique solution to the quadrant in which the original point
is located. Then the corresponding value of
r is positive, so
Converting points between coordinate systems
Given a point
in the plane with Cartesian coordinates
and polar coordinates
the following conversion formulas hold true:
These formulas can be used to convert from rectangular to polar or from polar to rectangular coordinates.
Converting between rectangular and polar coordinates
Convert each of the following points into polar coordinates.
Convert each of the following points into rectangular coordinates.
Direct application of the second equation leads to division by zero. Graphing the point
on the rectangular coordinate system reveals that the point is located on the positive
y -axis. The angle between the positive
x -axis and the positive
y -axis is
Therefore this point can be represented as
in polar coordinates.
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities.
before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these
Jharna
continue..
sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed.
treatment for autism.
well it depends on the severity.
since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child
Jharna
child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.
string and beads game.
the more you interact with the child the more effective
Jharna
results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
