What is the Cartesian form of #( 3 , (16pi)/6 ) #?

Answer 1

Christopher Agresta

#(-3 sqrt 3 / 2, + 3/2)#

#x = 3 cos frac{16 pi}{6} = 3 cos frac{8 pi}{3} = 3 cos frac{2 pi}{3} = - 3 cos frac{pi}{3} = - 3 * sqrt 3 / 2#

#y = 3 sin frac{16 pi}{6} = 3 sin frac{pi}{3} = 3/2#

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
