Homework Statement
Given a matrix {latex] A_11 =A_22 = 0 A_12 =A_21 = x/y +y/x [ /latex] Find the contravariant components in polar coordinates.
Answer:
[itex] A_11 = 2 A_22 = -2/r^2 A_12 = 2cot(2 /theta)/r [ /latex]
Homework Equations
I used the polar coordinates metric to raise indecies but i do not get the correct answer I get:
[itex] A^11 = A^22 = 0 A^12 = csc( /theta)sec( /theta) / r^4 A^21 = csc( /theta)sec( /theta) [ /latex]Any clue on what I am doing wrong?
