Polar form: (r,θ)
Using these formulas:
x²+y²=r²
tan(θ)=y/x
We have the point (1,1) in cartesian coordinates. We need to find r and θ to get it in polar form.
r²=1²+1²
r²=2
r=±√2
tan(θ)=1/1
tan(θ)=1
θ=π/4 radians or 45 degrees
Polar coordinates: (√2,π/4)
Those answer choices look strange. Are you sure these are the right answer choices?
