Title: Cartesian
Post by: missybangsalot on October 13, 2005, 08:57:06 PM

Y=r²cos²q + r sinq cosf tanf- (r sinq sinf/ tanf) is the problem given.  I needed to change from sperical to Cartesian when I worked I thought it was to easy to be right I ended up getting


Y=z² + x (y/x) - (y/(y/x))

do you realise that y/x , y/z or x/z are actually trigonometric functions?

they correspond to either sine, cosine, tangent FYI.
