im sorry i meant the 0 is θ

OpenStudy (amistre64):

why the +pi ? to swing it to the 2nd quad ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

knowing the "r" value, we could have done arccos (x/r) as well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I added it because x < 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1/6 will give out a negative answer

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you work look fine to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so my answer is correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes; the polar form is a radius of sqrt(37) at about a 2.9 radian measure

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or .... i have to wonder a little about the angle at the moment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we dont want to put it in the second quadrant do we?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2pi + arctan(-1/6) sounds better to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we have a -0.165 radian; which is equivalent to 2pi - 0.165 to fit it between 0 adn 2pi

OpenStudy (amistre64):

trying to define it in the 2nd quadrant is just a bad idea :) we dont want to move it from where it is at, we just want to define it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the radian is 2.9?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2pi+%2B+tan%5E-1%28-1%2F6%29 im going with more like; 6.12
