Question

polar coordinates

Answer 1

Find all polar coordinates of point P where P = ordered pair 5 comma pi divided by 3.

Answer 2

(5, pi/3)

Answer 3

yeah, thats the problems equation

Answer 4

i get that its going to be +-5 but how do you determine what pi/3 goes with?

Answer 5

adding 360 tot he angle will not change anything, so :

\( (5, ~\pi/3 + 2\pi n)\) where \(n = ... -2, -1, 0, 1, 2...\)

Answer 6

similarly setup another general pair with -5

Answer 7

so it will also be (-5, pi/3 + 2pi n)

Answer 8

not quite,
when u take negative radius, u need to add 180 to the angle

Answer 9

pi/3 + pi = 4pi/3

Answer 10

so it will also be (-5, 4pi/3 + 2pi n)

Answer 11

and if thats not one of my answers and (-5, pi/3 +2pin) is.... then.... that would be the answer :D

Answer 12

(5, pi/3)

can be represented as :

` (5, pi/3 + 2pi n)`

or

` (-5, 4pi/3 + 2pi n)`

Answer 13

No other ways possible in polar

Answer 14

yay c: okay thank you ^.^

Answer 15

-5, pi/3 + 2pi n represents (5, 4pi/3)

it does not represent (5, pi/3)

Answer 16

u may be having below in ur options :

\( \left(5,~ \dfrac{\pi}{3} + 2 n\pi\right)\)


\( \left(-5, ~\dfrac{\pi}{3} + (2n+1)\pi\right) \)
