Work Step by Step

Conversion formulas: $\left\{\begin{array}{ll} (x,y)=(r\cos\theta,r\sin\theta) & \\ r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}, & \tan\theta=\frac{y}{x} \end{array}\right.$ The points $(r,\theta)$ of the region are such that: The angle $11\pi/4$ terminates in the 2nd quadrant, as $ 11\pi/4=3\pi/4+2\pi$ defines a line through the pole (the origin) with slope $\tan( 11\pi/4) =-1.$ $11\pi/4$ terminates in the 2nd quadrant, but he directed distance r is partly negative, from -1 to 0, so some points in the opposite (4th) quadrant are involved. These are points on the line that are at a distance 1 or less from the pole. For the rest of the values of r, the points represented lie on the ray through the 2nd quadrant.
