Defining Polar Coordinates and Differentiating in Polar Form

This study guide covers polar coordinates, polar functions, and their differentiation. It explains converting polar equations to Cartesian equations using the relationships between x, y, r, and θ. It also details finding the derivatives of polar functions (dr/dθ) to determine points furthest from the origin and calculating the slope of the tangent line using dy/dx. Examples are provided for converting between coordinate systems and finding tangent lines.
