How does the Polar Conics Calculator work?
Free Polar Conics Calculator - Given eccentricity (e), directrix (d), and angle θ, this determines the vertical and horizontal directrix polar equations.
This calculator has 3 inputs.
What 1 formula is used for the Polar Conics Calculator?
r = ed/(1 - e cos(θ))
r = ed/(1 + e cos(θ))
r = ed/(1 - e sin(θ))
r = ed/(1 + e sin(θ))
What 6 concepts are covered in the Polar Conics Calculator?
angle
the figure formed by two rays, called the sides of the angle, sharing a common endpoint, called the vertex of the angle.
conic
directrix
line in a parabola not through the focus
eccentricity
Deviation of a conic from a circular shape
polar conics
polar equation
any equation that describes a relation between r and θ
