Taking the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system as the pole and the non-negative half-axis of the axis as the polar axis, with the same unit of length for both coordinate systems. The parametric equation of curve is:
By changing the ordinate of each point on curve to half of its original value (the abscissa remains unchanged), curve is obtained. The polar equation of line is:
(Ⅰ) Find the parametric equation of curve ;
(Ⅱ) If the maximum distance from a point on curve to line is , find the value of .
Solution
Solution:
(Ⅰ) Let point on curve correspond to point on curve ,
According to the problem, we have:
Therefore, the parametric equation of curve is:
(Ⅱ) According to the problem, the Cartesian equation of line is:
Let the distance from a point on curve to line be ,
Then
When , , solving this gives: ,
When , , solving this gives: ,
In conclusion: .
Therefore, the final answers are:
(Ⅰ) The parametric equation of curve is .
(Ⅱ) The value of is .
