What is the Cartesian form of #( 7 , (25pi)/12 ) #?

Answer 1

Ezra Adams

#(6.761,1,812)#

Polar form #(r,theta)# may be converted to rectangular Cartesian form #(x,y)# via the transormations :

#x=rcostheta and y=rsintheta#.

So in this particular case we get

#x=7cos((25pi)/12)=6.761#

#y=7sin((25pi)/12)=1.812#

Hence the Cartesian form is #(6.761,1,812)#.

The Cartesian form of the point (7, (25π)/12) is given by: [ (7 \cos((25π)/12), 7 \sin((25π)/12)) ]

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.
