QuestionFind the polar coordinates, 0θ<2π0 \leq \theta<2 \pi and r0r \geq 0, of the point given in Cartesian A) (42,3π4)\left(4 \sqrt{2}, \frac{3 \pi}{4}\right) B) (42,7π4)\left(4 \sqrt{2}, \frac{7 \pi}{4}\right) coordinates. (4,4)(4,-4) C) (42,π4)\left(4 \sqrt{2}, \frac{\pi}{4}\right) D) (42,5π4)\left(4 \sqrt{2}, \frac{5 \pi}{4}\right)

Studdy Solution
Adjust θ\theta to ensure it lies within the range 0θ<2π0 \leq \theta < 2\pi.
Since θ=π4\theta = -\frac{\pi}{4} is negative, add 2π2\pi to adjust:
θ=π4+2π \theta = -\frac{\pi}{4} + 2\pi θ=7π4 \theta = \frac{7\pi}{4}
The polar coordinates of the point (4,4)(4, -4) are:
(42,7π4) \boxed{\left(4\sqrt{2}, \frac{7\pi}{4}\right)}
