Answer

$(\dfrac{\sqrt 6+\sqrt 2}{2},\dfrac{\sqrt 6 -\sqrt 2}{2})$

Work Step by Step

Conversion of polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates are as follows: a)$r^2=x^2+y^2 \implies r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$ b) $\tan \theta =\dfrac{y}{x} \implies \theta =\tan^{-1} (\dfrac{y}{x})$ c) $X=r \cos \theta$ d) $Y=r \sin \theta$ Here, we have $r=2; \theta =15^{\circ}$ $x=2 \cos 15^{\circ} \implies x=2(\dfrac{\sqrt 6+\sqrt 2}{4})=\dfrac{\sqrt 6+\sqrt 2}{2}$ $y=2 \sin 15^{\circ} \implies y=2(\dfrac{\sqrt 6-\sqrt 2}{4})=\dfrac{\sqrt 6-\sqrt 2}{2}$ Thus, our points are: $(X,Y)=(\dfrac{\sqrt 6+\sqrt 2}{2},\dfrac{\sqrt 6 -\sqrt 2}{2})$
