1. Consider the ray from the origin through the point $P=(-2,2)$. What's the angle between this ray and the positive $x$ axis? What the distance from the origin to $P$?
  2. Plot the polar points with $(r,\theta)$ given by $(2,0)$, $(2,\pi/6)$, $(-2,\pi/6)$, $(4,\pi/2)$, $(-4,\pi/2)$.
  3. Give a Cartesian equation of the polar curve $r=\frac{4}{3\sin\theta+2\cos\theta}$.
  4. Give a Cartesian equation of the polar curve $r=\tan\theta\sec\theta$.
  5. We know $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$. Compute $dx$ in terms of $r, \theta,dr, d\theta$. (If you need to, assume that everything depends on $t$, compute derivatives, then multiply by $dt$.)
  6. Plot the curve $r=3-2\sin\theta$.
