Vocaloid:

well parts I and II are pretty straightforward, you just gotta apply the formulas they give you to your (x,y) coordinate

zarkam21:

r^2=(-4)^2+4sqrt3)^2 64^2=4096

Vocaloid:

r^2 = 64 not 64^2 r = ?

zarkam21:

8

zarkam21:

tan(theta)=(4sqrt3)/-4 =sqrt3

Vocaloid:

good, so thats part I, now find theta for part II

Vocaloid:

tan(theta) = -sqrt(3) (you missed the negative sign) now solve for theta

zarkam21:

1/3

Vocaloid:

arctan(-sqrt(3)) = ?

zarkam21:

-pi/3

Vocaloid:

good, typically we would want a positive theta value so we can just add 2pi to that to get 5pi/3 then for part III just combine the r value and the theta value to get a new set of coordinates

Vocaloid:

like, we got r = 8 and theta = 5pi/3 so it's literally just (8,5pi/3)
