Question

plot each of the following on the polar coordinate plane

Answer 1

This is a polar coordinate plane.

Answer 2

@ganeshie8 how would we solve this problem

Answer 3

I'm not downloading a document, sorry.

Answer 4

@ikram002p i need help with this problem, i do not understand how to plot it

Answer 5

first coordinate refers to the radius of circle from the center
second coordinate refers to the angle

Answer 6

ill give u this exampl
lets this be polar cordinate
sectors express theta
and sectors express r
for the cordinate ( r , theta )

Answer 7

if u wanna plote ( 1, pi/4 ) for example
r= 1
theta =pi /4

Answer 8

so r=1 would be on the first circle, and 3pi/4 would e where

Answer 9

yeah u right

Answer 10

all the rest are the same
( i hope im right in this )
if u still confuse in this plz ask somone else
couse i gtg :D

Answer 11

@ganehsie8, if i need to plot like (2,3pi) which way would i plot it

Answer 12

and (2,-pi/4)

Answer 13

Do you know what 3pi is equivalent to?

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

how can i know which coordinate is equivalent to what

Answer 16

Since 3pi is over 2pi, 3pi - 2pi = pi.
3pi is the same as the pi position on the plane.
And the 2 signifies two units away from the origin. How would that look like then?

Answer 17

would it go to the right then

Answer 18

or the left

Answer 19

No, that's the 0 or 2pi angle.

Answer 20

What do you think? Don't you know the polar coordinate plane, I gave it to you above.

Answer 21

it would be like this

Answer 22

Answer 23

@ganeshie8

Answer 24

Yes, (2, 3pi) will be 2 units to the left of the polar plane.

Answer 25

@iPwnBunnies what about (2,-pi/4)

Answer 26

i know about 2, but what about -pi/4

Answer 27

It's similar to what ikram drew. -pi/4 means pi/4 radians in the clockwise direction, which is opposite the direction we usually go.
