Find the polar coordinates of the point with rectangular coo
Find the polar coordinates of the point with rectangular coordinates (-squareroot 2, squareroot 2).
Solution
x=-2, y =2
r =[x2+y2]
r =[2+2]
r=2
point in second quadrant so
=- tan-1(2/2)
=- tan-1(1)
=-(/4)
=(3/4)
polar coordinates (r,) =(2,3/4)
