1. A lighthouse is placed at the origin of a coordinate system, and a boat is located at a point L2 CO1
described by the polar coordinates (r , ) = 4, , where r is the distance in kilometres
3
and is the angle in radians measured counter clockwise from the positive x-axis.
a) Convert the boat's position from polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates ( x, y ) .
b) A second boat is located at ( x, y ) = ( 3, −3) . Convert this position to polar coordinates.
c) Plot both points on a polar coordinate grid and a Cartesian plane.
2. a) Obtain the angle between the radius vector and tangent to the polar curve. L1 CO1

7. The American Farm Machinery Company finds that if it manufactures x economy tractors L3 CO4
and y heavy-duty tractors per month, then its profit (in thousands of dollars) will be

P( x, y ) = 3x + 0.05 xy + 4 y. If the company now manufactures 125 economy tractors and
3
100 heavy-duty tractors per month, find an approximation for the additional profit from
manufacturing 3 more economy tractors and 2 more heavy-duty tractors per month.
8. If 𝑢 = 𝑓 ( 𝑥, 𝑦) where 𝑥 = 𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑠 and 𝑦 = 𝑟 𝑠𝑖𝑛 prove that L1 CO3

10. A one-product company finds that its profit, P, in millions of dollars, is given by L3 CO4
P( x, y) = 100 x − 2 y 2 − 3x 2 + 4 xy. where y is the amount spent on advertising, in millions
of dollars, and x is the number of items sold (in thousands).
a) Calculate the values of x and y that maximize the profit function.
b) What is the maximum profit the company can achieve based on this model?
