In that expression, what is r? what is (theta)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know, thats all im given

choices are (4, -pi/ 3 + 2nπ) or (-4, -pi/ 3 + (2n + 1)π) (4, -pi/ 3 + (2n + 1)π) or (-4, -pi/ 3 + 2nπ) (4, -pi/ 3 + 2nπ) or (4, pi/3 + (2n + 1)π) (4, -pi/ 3 + 2nπ) or (-4, -pi/ 3 + 2nπ)

so, to get this guy again, we just +2npi, that's it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Bebong so d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let see!! now consider a) the first part matches with our logic, right? now, the second one -4, -pi/3 |dw:1404238483303:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2n+1) pi = 2npi + pi now, go around 2npi, we back to the same pot, right? 1 more pi |dw:1404238575306:dw|
