Answer

Fill the blanks with a. ... $ r\cos\theta$ ... $ r\sin\theta$ b. ... $x^{2}+y^{2}$ ... $\displaystyle \frac{y}{x}$

Work Step by Step

See p. 790. From polar to rectangular coordinates: $ x=r\cos\theta$ and $ y=r\sin\theta$. From rectangular to polar coordinates: $r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}$ and $\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}$. Fill the blanks with a. ... $ r\cos\theta$ ... $ r\sin\theta$ b. ... $x^{2}+y^{2}$ ... $\displaystyle \frac{y}{x}$
