math help urgent plz
Polar coordinates are in the form of \((r, \theta)\) and graphed on the polar coordinate system. Unlike the Cartesian coordinate plane where you plot x and y, you will have a radius \(r\) which you extend from the origin, and then you would move counterclockwise for the angle \(\theta\). Example: \((2, \pi)\) |dw:1587952059534:dw| The radius is 2 so I extended 2 units, then I went around counterclockwise by a value of pi
Also to your question if r is positive then it would be in the same quadrant as the direction of theta and negative then it would be in the quadrant opposite to theta That'll help you determine the choices
quadrant II in the opp of in the same quadrant as
are my answers correct ?
#3 is correct. r doesn't tell what quadrant the point is in, but it only tells you whether the point would be in the same or opposite quadrant as the angle of rotation
also here r>0, so it would not be opposite for #2
View this pdf to help you out. I think they explain it better https://www.alamo.edu/contentassets/35e1aad11a064ee2ae161ba2ae3b2559/additional/math2412-polar-coordinates.pdf
so quad I because r is pos and then it will lie on the terminal side which is quad I
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @justjm For #1 and #2 none of the answers have to do with the coordinates \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Pardon, I don't mean coordinates. I meant to say that the correct options for #1 and #2 would be the "in the same/opposite quadrant"
and for option #3 it would be one of the quads?
I don't think the blank portion is asking about where the point is
quad II quad IV in the same quad
wait nvm
in the same quad in the opp quad quad II
All seem correct and you are right that the point lies in quadrant 2 but I'm curious on #3, because the way they worded it suggests that the answer they are looking for is not the quadrant in which the point lies in but rather asking more directly about the sign for \(r\). This leads me to think that your original choice that you had chosen for #3 (in the same quadrant as) is correct.
