Find all polar coordinates of point P = (2, 14°).
@mathmale
(r, theta) can be represented by any of the following coordinate pairs (r, theta + 2(pi)n) or (-r, theta +(2n+1)pi)
(2, 14 degrees +2pi(n)) or (-2, 14 degrees +(2n+1)pi) that covers all of the polar coordinates
thats all?
yes because they want all of the solutions you have to write it in "general terms" example list all of the even numbers you write "2n" where n is an integer number instead of 2,4, 6, 8, .........
im honestly really lost.. lol :-(
well go to www.tutorial.math.lamar.edu You might want to start with the basics about polar equations. I am surprised you were not asked to just list some points equivalent to this point.

polar coordinates are graphed on this type of graph paper. They are not graphed on the x and y plane
