@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

remember that angles can be re-written by adding/subtracting 2pi so a set of polar coordinates can be written with multiple angle values

zarkam21:

OH okay so false

Vocaloid:

yup

Vocaloid:

hm. almost. you have (r, theta) to convert to rectangular you need to find (r*cos(theta) , rsin(theta)) as your coordinates

D

Vocaloid:

hm. if r = sqrt(x^2 + y^2) what is r?

zarkam21:

sqrt 2

Vocaloid:

good so that eliminates C and D now if theta = arctan(y/x) what is theta?

zarkam21:

-pi/4

Vocaloid:

good, let's convert that to degrees since the answers are all in degrees -pi/4 = -45 degrees, add 360 to that since we don't have -45 as one of the choices

zarkam21:

315

Vocaloid:

good guess but 5pi/3 is greater than pi so that would put it below the x-axis as a hint, notice how that 90 degree angle (or pi/2 angle) is made of three segments, divide pi/2 by 3, then multiply by the number of segments between the polar axis and the point

|dw:1527606160471:dw|

Vocaloid:

|dw:1527606164630:dw|

zarkam21:

pi/6

Vocaloid:

good start, that's one of the segment angle values, then just multiply that by 4 since we have four segments

zarkam21:

2pi/3

Vocaloid:

awesome, well done

confused on this

Vocaloid:

to go from positive to negative r values you have to subtract pi from the angle since that's already been done you just have to multiply the r-value by -1

zarkam21:

the r value is the x value?

Vocaloid:

we're in polar so the coordinate given is (r, theta)

zarkam21:

-5pi/4

Vocaloid:

the first number is r so you would multiply 3 by -1 to get the solution

zarkam21:

-3

Vocaloid:

good
