Question

Find the polar coordinates of a point with Cartesian coordinates (x,y)=(5√3/2,−5/2).Select the correct answer below:

(5,5π/6)

(10,4π/3)

(5,11π/6)

(10,5π/6)

(5,4π/3)

(10,11π/6)

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is (5, 11π/6). or C

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar coordinates of the point (x, y) = (5√3/2, -5/2) are (r, θ) = (5, 11π/6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formulas for converting Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates:

r = √(x^2 + y^2)

θ = atan2(y, x)

Plugging in the given values:

r = √((5√3/2)^2 + (-5/2)^2)

= √(75/4 + 25/4)

= √(100/4)

= 5

θ = atan2(-5/2, 5√3/2)

≈ 11π/6 radians

So, the correct polar coordinates of the point (5√3/2, -5/2) are (r, θ) = (5, 11π/6).
