OpenStudy (precal):

(r, theta) can be represented by any of the following coordinate pairs (r, theta + 2(pi)n) or (-r, theta +(2n+1)pi)

OpenStudy (precal):

(2, 14 degrees +2pi(n)) or (-2, 14 degrees +(2n+1)pi) that covers all of the polar coordinates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all?

OpenStudy (precal):

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 :-(

OpenStudy (precal):

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
