In Problems55–66, the rectangular coordinates of a point are given. Find polar coordinates for each point.

(-2,-23)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The polar coordinates is 4,4Ï€3.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information   

We are given rectangular coordinates of a point,

(-2,-23)

We have to find polar coordinates of given point.

02

Step 2. Finding the polar coordinates   

The distance of the point (-2,-23)from origin is given by,

role="math" localid="1646791490159" r=x2+y2r=(-2)2+-232=4+12=16=4

03

Step 3. Finding the polar coordinates   

We know that,

tanθ=yx, soθ=tan-1yx,-π2<θ<π2

Putting values, we get

θ=tan-1-23-2=tan-1(3)=π3

Since the point is on the third quadrant, so we have to add πto get the third quadrant angle,

θ=π+π3θ=3π+π3θ=4π3

So, the polar coordinate is 4,4Ï€3.
