Determine two pairs of polar coordinates for the point (4, -4) with 0° ≤ θ < 360°.
do you hhave any idea..??
r and theta can be found at looking at the graph :)
where's the graph..?
M giving answer...just a moment..
ok
I got (6,pi/4) but im confused cuz
these are the answers (4 square root of 2, 45°), (-4 square root of 2, 225°) (4 square root of 2, 135°), (-4 square root of 2, 315°) (4 square root of 2, 225°), (-4 square root of 2, 45°) (4 square root of 2, 315°), (-4 square root of 2, 135°)
i converted it into polar
1) Let A be the point (x, y) = (4, - 4) => x = 4 and y = - 4 r = √(x² + y²) = √(16 + 16) = √32 = ± 4 √2 tan Θ = -4/4 = - 1 => Θ = (i) 315º or - 45º ; (ii) 135º or - 225 Hence, the Polar Coordinates are (i) (4√2, 315º) (ii) (-4 √2, 135º)
hmm
i dont understand the polar coordinate part
how you get the digits 315 and 135
look the values of tan=-1 at 135 and 315 only..you have to take that values at which tan gives -1 in between 0 to 360 so these are two at which tan gives -1..
ahhh ok
you get it fully..?
is it possible to find polar coordinates from a polar coordinate?
for example (6,31^degrees)
wht means.??
how would i find the all it's polar coordinates from looking at (6,31^degrees)
