A Deep Dive Into the World Derivative of Polar Coordinates
TL;DR: Polar curves don’t give you dy/dx directly, but you can still find the slope of the tangent line. Convert to parametric form using x equals r cosine theta and y equals r sine theta, then apply the parametric derivative formula. The slope works out to r-prime sine theta plus r cosine theta, all divided […]
