Question

Find the point on the terminal side of θ = pi divided by four that has an x coordinate of 2. Show your work for full credit.

Answer 1

@LordVictorius
if i am not wrong it seems u want to convert polar to cartesiasn (r, θ)
then use x=rcos θ and y =rsin θ
here r=2 and θ=pi/4
if it is so then reqd point is (2cos(pi)/4,2sin(pi)/4)=(sqrt(2),sqrt(2))

Answer 2

I don't understand what that means.

Answer 3

What is Cartesian?

Answer 4

Cartesian means in terms of x and y.
Polar means in terms of r and theta.

Answer 5

Okay, and whay is r and theta? Sorry, not too good at this.

Answer 6

i think it is much easier than this

Answer 7

θ is this theta?

Answer 8

Yes it is, victorius.

Answer 9

2=y?

Answer 10

y=r?

Answer 11

both angles are equal, sides are therefore equal because you have an isosceles triangle

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

so if \(x=2\) then \(y=2\) halas

Answer 14

if you need the hypotenuse, it is \(2\sqrt2\) by pythagoras

Answer 15

I'm not sure what I need to find, that's why I posted this.

Answer 16

It says, "Find the point on the terminall side..."

Answer 17

What is that?

Answer 18

the \(x\) value and the \(y\) value are both 2, so the point on the terminal side is \((2,2)\)
