Question

Find all polar coordinates of point P = (2, 14°).
QUICK MEDAL!

Answer 1

what is the equation for x and y in polar coordinates?

Answer 2

This is similar to what I helped you with before @lavalamp0100.

Answer 3

Yeah, I am just trying to see if I got it down. Is this answer correct?

(2, 14+2nπ) or (-2, 14 + (2n+1)π)

Answer 4

let me do it. gimme a sec.

Answer 5

sure

Answer 6

Since you're not answering me, I'm gonna let brit take it.

Answer 7

@FibonacciChick666 , take it

Answer 8

I am a bit busy. I was just commenting. My apologies.

Answer 9

nah I have like 3 other questions going, since you have a repertoire, it's yours

Answer 10

Can someone just help me please

Answer 11

@Brittni0605 He left. Could you help me please :)

Answer 12

Alright.

Answer 13

Thanks so much!

Answer 14

I think you are correct.

Answer 15

the point is in (r, (theta)) form...thus polar

Answer 16

Okay thanks so much!! :)

Answer 17

Np.

Answer 18

Sorry, I gotta step in: You cannot have a negative radius. In the form you are using, (which is not what I consider polar form) the first term is r. As such it can never be negative.

Answer 19

Oh my gosh. You're correct @FibonacciChick666. Thank you for stepping in.

Answer 20

Sorry if that came off as rude as a side note

Answer 21

I appreciate the correction. It was my error.

Answer 22

but anyways, if you could answer my originally posed question @lavalamp0100 , that would give us a good starting point.

So what is polar form? It is an eq of the form:
x=?
y=?

Answer 23

I think the r can be negative, but the degree would change.

Answer 24

No, you can't ever have a negative radius. It's a magnitude. A distance.

Answer 26

I agree r is a magnitude/distance.

Answer 27

My mistake. Thank you.
