Solution

Let's break down the problem step by step. You're given the point (6,3π)(-6, 3\pi) in polar coordinates and asked to find different polar coordinate representations for the same point.

1. Plotting the Point (6,3π)(-6, 3\pi)

In polar coordinates, the point (r,θ)(r, \theta) means:

  • r=6r = -6 is the distance from the origin (pole). A negative rr means the point is in the direction opposite to the angle θ\theta.
  • θ=3π\theta = 3\pi indicates the angle measured counterclockwise from the positive polar axis. Since 3π=π+2π3\pi = \pi + 2\pi, it is equivalent to rotating to the angle π\pi, or 180 degrees (to the left), and then moving in the opposite direction due to the negative rr.

Part (a)

You need to find a new polar representation where:

  • r>0r > 0
  • 2πθ<0-2\pi \leq \theta < 0

Strategy:

To get r>0r > 0, we change the sign of rr and adjust θ\theta by adding or subtracting π\pi.

For the point (6,3π)(-6, 3\pi), if we want r>0r > 0, we change r=6r = 6. To keep the point the same, we subtract π\pi from the angle, which gives us:

θ=3ππ=2π\theta = 3\pi - \pi = 2\pi

However, this angle 2π2\pi is not in the range 2πθ<0-2\pi \leq \theta < 0. To get an equivalent angle in the range, we subtract 2π2\pi from θ=2π\theta = 2\pi:

θ=2π2π=0\theta = 2\pi - 2\pi = 0

So, the coordinates are:

(6,0)(6, 0)

Final Answer for Part (a):

The polar coordinates of the point with r>0r > 0 and 2πθ<0-2\pi \leq \theta < 0 are:

(6,π)(6, -\pi)

This satisfies the required conditions.
