Answer

$a.\quad(3,0)$ $b.\quad(-3,0)$ $c.\quad(-1,\sqrt{3})$ $d.\quad(1,\sqrt{3})$ $e.\quad(3,0)$ $f.\quad(1,\sqrt{3})$ $g.\quad(-3,0)$ $h.\quad(-1,\sqrt{3})$

Work Step by Step

$ a.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(3,0)$ Cartesian: $(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(3\cdot 1,3\cdot 0)=(3,0)$ $ b.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(-3,0)$ Cartesian: $(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(-3\cdot 1,-3\cdot 0)=(-3,0)$ $ c.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(2,2\pi/3)$ Cartesian: $(r\displaystyle \cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(2\cdot(-\frac{1}{2}),2\cdot\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})=(-1,\sqrt{3})$ $ d.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(2,7\pi/3)$ Cartesian: $(r\displaystyle \cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(2\cdot(\frac{1}{2}),2\cdot\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})=(1,\sqrt{3})$ $ e.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(-3,\pi)$ Cartesian: $(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(-3\cdot(-1),-3\cdot 0)=(3,0)$ $ f.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(2,\pi/3)$ Cartesian: $(r\displaystyle \cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(2\cdot(\frac{1}{2}),2\cdot\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2})=(1,\sqrt{3})$ $ g.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(3,2\pi)$ Cartesian: $(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(-3\cdot 1,3\cdot 0)=(-3,0)$ $ h.\quad$ Polar: $(r,\theta)=(-2,-\pi/3)$ Cartesian: $(r\displaystyle \cos\theta,r\sin\theta)=(-2\cdot(\frac{1}{2}),-2\cdot(-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}))=(-1,\sqrt{3})$
