r 0 50 TH 4 5 2 50 77 Step 3 We are asked to find a second pair of polar coordinates for the Cartesian coordinates 5 5 We have found the following point with the required conditions are as follows We must now find polar coordinates with r 0 To find the negative value of r we choose the negative square root to solve for r r 5 2 5 2 Step 4 Recall that for a negative radius the resulting point is on the same line through the origin as the point with positive radius it is the same distance from the origin but it is on opposite sides of the origin That is r 8 represents the same point as r 0 m We found that r 8 5 2 74 are the polar coordinates of the given point with a positive radius Therefore the polar coordinates of the given point with negative radius r 5 2 and 0 8 2 is as follows r 0 Submit Skip you cannot come back
