Defining points in the polar system
• Location of a point is based on radius (distance from the origin) and theta (the angle the radius moves from standard position (positive x-axis in a cartesian system)
• (r, Θ) is the point in polar coordinates.• r and Θ can be positive, negative, or zero.
P = (r, )

Multiple Representations of Points
If n is an integer, then the point (r, Θ) can be represented as
(r, Θ + 2nπ) or (-r, Θ + π + 2nπ)
Find another representation of (5, ) in which
6. r is positive and 2π < Θ < 4π
7. r is negative and 0 < Θ < 2π
8. r is positive and - 2π < Θ < 0

Converting from Polar Coordinates to Rectangular Coordinates
If cos θ = x/r then x = r cos θ If sin θ = y/r theny = r sin θ
Find the rectangular coordinates for the points given in polar coordinates.

Converting from Rectangular Coordinates to Polar Coordinates
From Pythagoras, we have:
r2 = x2 + y2 and, thus,
and basic trigonometry gives us:
Step 1: Determine the quadrant in which the point resides.
Step 2: Find r by computing the distance from the origin to (x,y) using
Step 3: Find Θ using .
Make sure the angles fits the quadrant determined in step 1.
Note: We are assuming that r > 0 and 0 < Θ < 2π
