Find all polar coordinates of point P = (6, 31°).

Question

anonymous · Answer

Isn't the formula you have to use:
R * cos(angle) = x point
R * sin(angle) = y point

anonymous · Answer

yep!

anonymous · Answer

Then I'm sorry (haven't done this in awhile) I know you can just add 360° to the P point and it would get be the same point do you think that's what it is asking?

So it would be  P = (6, 31° + n * 360°)

are you sure?

anonymous · Answer

i dont think so.

anonymous · Answer

If you plug in your calculator
6cos(31) it should equal 6cos(31 + 360) and
6sin(31) = 6 sin(31+360)

anonymous · Answer

Doesn't the question already give you the answer? The coordinates of that point in polar coordinates is (6, 31 degrees)

anonymous · Answer

But it says find ALL polar coordinates.

If you go around in a circle, you get back to the same point right? It works the same in math, if you add 360° or 2pi then you would get to the same spot.
