These Further Maths polar coordinates multiple choice questions check your understanding of polar coordinates with 10 questions for pupils aged 16-18. Each question has four answers, and the right one is explained as soon as you choose.
Further Maths polar coordinates multiple choice questions: the 10 questions
The Cartesian coordinates of \(\left(2,\tfrac\pi2\right)\) are:
\(r=4\) is:
\(r=a(1+\cos\theta)\) is a:
The area enclosed by \(r=f(\theta)\) between \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) is:
\(r=\cos3\theta\) has how many petals?
\(r=\cos2\theta\) has how many petals?
\(\theta=\frac\pi4\) in Cartesian form is:
The curve \(r=2\cos\theta\) is:
A tangent is parallel to the initial line where:
The area of the circle \(r=2\) is (using \(\frac12\int r^2d\theta\)):
How to use these Further Maths polar coordinates multiple choice questions
First, read each question carefully before you look at the four answers. Then work the answer out on paper, so that you do not simply guess. After that, read the explanation, even when you are right. If you score less than 7 out of 10, go back to the polar coordinates lesson.
Finally, practise more with the polar coordinates worksheet and the quiz. Moreover, all the pages of this chapter work together, so you can move between them at any time. For example, many pupils read the lesson on Monday, practise on Wednesday and test themselves on Friday.
