Question

Find all polar coordinates of point P where P = (3, -pi/3)

Answer 1

@le0n any idea how to solve this one? :D

Answer 2

this is in cartesian right?

Answer 3

and you want in polar or other way?

Answer 4

I found this on google, hopefully it explains a little bit:

You have to add 2nπ where n is an integer,
because you're looking for all polar coordinates and not just some.

often adding 2nπ means the original angle is included, as well as any angles that are at a distance of 2π away, which will have the same sin and cos and tan values and therefore will be included in the solution.

For example, π/4 and π/4 + 2π (note this is equal to 9π/4) both have a cos value of sqrt(2) / 2 and a sin value of sqrt(2) / 2.

Answer 5

I'm still a little confused :O

Answer 6

aaa now i understand what you were usking :D

Answer 7

is this multiple choice btw?

Answer 8

in polar coordinates you denote point by its distance from the origin and angle from the x-axis. but if you will add 2pi radians to an angle this means that you went in a circle and came back to the same point
