Mark44, thank you for replying.
Thank you for correcting me. I suppose this is where I got the wrong idea:
Are the equals signs in this example saying that these points are associated with each other rather than equivalent with each other?
How can (5, 4π/3) be in the third quadrant unless...
mfb, thank you for replying.
I understand how to work with the numbers, I am only curious about why the polar coordinate system itself allows for infinite ways to represent a point.
Whoops, thanks to Mark44 I see my error in this statement. I meant "How can an angle in the third quadrant be...
I am learning about the polar coordinate system, and I have a few conceptual questions.
I understand that in Cartesian coordinates there is exactly one set of coordinates for any given point. However, in polar coordinates there is an infinite number of coordinates for a given point. I see how...
