Question

Give 3 different polar points that are equivalent to:
(0,-5)

Answer 1

(pi,5)
(2pi, -5)
(3pi, 5)

Answer 2

\[(5,\frac{3\pi}{2})\]
That would get us there. Can you think of another one?

Answer 3

I thoguht that polar cordinates was (angle, length). I thoguht that the point would be along the x axis

Answer 4

We were given the rectangular coordinates. (0,-5) 0 is the x coordinate and -5 is the y coordinate.

Answer 5

When giving the polar coordinates, you give the distance along the polar axis first and the angle of rotation second.

Answer 6

oh, my apologizes then :P
