Answer

Plot the polar coordinates: (a) $\left( {2,\frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$ (b) $\left( {4,\frac{{3\pi }}{4}} \right)$ (c) $\left( {3, - \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$ (d) $\left( {0,\frac{\pi }{6}} \right)$

Work Step by Step

(a) First, we draw a line that makes an angle $\frac{\pi }{6}$ with the $x$-axis. Then mark the point with $2$ distance from the origin. (b) First, we draw a line that makes an angle $\frac{{3\pi }}{4}$ with the $x$-axis. Then mark the point with $4$ distance from the origin. (c) First, we draw a line that makes an angle $ - \frac{\pi }{2}$ with the $x$-axis. Then mark the point with $3$ distance from the origin. (d) First, we draw a line that makes an angle $\frac{\pi }{6}$ with the $x$-axis. Then mark the point with $0$ distance from the origin.
