cos (240)=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-.5?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup, sin 240 =?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-root3/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, so, just distribute 4 into it, you have 4cos 240 = x coordinate
4 sin 240 = y coordinate
Dat sit

I'm confused
OpenStudy (anonymous):
why? 4*(-0.5) = -2, that is x in rectangular form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hey, your problem is CONVERT to rectangular form, Please, don't MIX the problems up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
All your options are polar forms

Still super lost haha
OpenStudy (anonymous):
When you have CONVERT TO RECTANGULAR form, you are given a POLAR form, that is there is cos and sin in the form, and you convert to (x,y) form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh oops I gave the wrong answer choices
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hehehe... I think so
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we had it before hahaha my bad

so it's C?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup, I gave you x =-2, already, now you have 4 sin (240) =?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hihihi... only one option has x =-2, you are lucky, save a bunch of time.
