Find all polar coordinates of point P = (2, 14°).

Question

anonymous · Answer

@Nnesha i really do not understand this..

zepdrix · Answer

$\large\rm (2,14^o)=(r,\theta)$
This is already in polar coordinates.
So I'm not sure what they're asking for here...

Do they want other coordinates which also get us to P?
Or Cartesian coordinates maybe?
Bahh I'm confused +_+

this is all the question is.. i have no clue.

danjs · Answer

add 2pi onto the angle for a circle around back to the same point maybe

danjs · Answer

2pi*k  ,   k times

don't forget about the case where r could be negative

danjs · Answer

360 deg, sorry it is degrees here

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

since the given angle theta is given in degrees, it makes sense to stick to degree mode

so (r,theta) = (2,14) is one polar point. 

(r,theta) = (2,374) is another. I added 360 to 14 to get 374

(r,theta) = (2,734) is another. I added 360 to 374 to get 734

In general, any point of the form (2,14+360*k) where k is an integer will be equivalent to the polar point (2,14)

That takes care of half of the cases. The other half deals with where r is negative 2.
