Answer

See plot. a. $(\frac{5}{2},\frac{5\pi}{2})$ b. $(-\frac{5}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2})$ c. $(\frac{5}{2},-\frac{3\pi}{2})$

Work Step by Step

We can plot the point by moving to angle $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ counterclockwise, and then to $r=\frac{5}{2}$ as shown in the figure. a. We can find another representation for the same point using the given range as $(\frac{5}{2},\frac{5\pi}{2})$ b. We can find another representation for the same point using the given range as $(-\frac{5}{2},\frac{3\pi}{2})$ c. We can find another representation for the same point using the given range as $(\frac{5}{2},-\frac{3\pi}{2})$
