PolarForm
PolarForm[ expr ]
PolarForm[ expr ] converts the vectors in an expression to polar form.
| Example | in | out | rendered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rewrite cartesian vector (3,4) to polar form. | PolarForm[CartesianVector[3,4]] |
PolarVector[5,0.927295218] |
(5,0.927295218) |
Options
AnglePrecision
AnglePrecision returns the angle in the polar form numerically and rounds the answer to a number of decimal places n.
| Syntax | Example |
|---|---|
PolarForm[ CartesianVector[ x, y ], AnglePrecision=>n ] |
PolarForm[ CartesianVector[ 12, 5 ], AnglePrecision=>2 ] |
MagnitudePrecision
MagnitudePrecision returns the magnitude of the polar form numerically and rounds the answer to a number of decimal places n.
| Syntax | Example |
|---|---|
PolarForm[ CartesianVector[ x, y ], MagnitudePrecision=>n ] |
PolarForm[ CartesianVector[ 11, 5 ], AnglePrecision=>2, MagnitudePrecision=>2 ] |
