- 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 $P$?
- Plot the polar points with $(r,\theta)$ given by $(2,0)$, $(2,\pi/6)$, $(-2,\pi/6)$, $(4,\pi/2)$, $(-4,\pi/2)$.
- Give a polar equation of the curve $2x+3y=4$. (So substitute $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$, and then solve for $r$.)
- Give a Cartesian equation of the polar curve $r=\tan\theta\sec\theta$. (Use $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$ to work backwards.)
- Given $y = x^2+3x$, compute both the derivative $\frac{dy}{dx}$ and the differential $dy$.
- 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 $dt$.)
- For the equation $z=x^2y+3y^2$, compute $\frac{dz}{dt}$ and $dz$.
