2. IrishBoy123

find the first one! the rest will follow. suggest you draw it too

3. anonymous

How do I do that??

4. anonymous

5. IrishBoy123

lol!!!

6. anonymous

But it says find all

7. IrishBoy123

draw it first

8. IrishBoy123

then let @surjithayer show you the true path

9. anonymous

i think (6,31+360n) n is an integer.

10. anonymous

How do I draw I don't know how to

11. anonymous

What's going on im so confused??

12. anonymous

r is always positive.

13. IrishBoy123

@PHUNISH are you online now? if so, let's answer this question.

14. anonymous

Yeah

15. IrishBoy123

so we are used to (x,y) |dw:1440270729004:dw|

18. anonymous

so +360n?

19. IrishBoy123

of course, but if you look at r = - 6 can you put that in the solution too?

20. anonymous

Im guessing so but I don;t know how

21. IrishBoy123

@surjithayer what do you think?

22. IrishBoy123

@PHUNISH i'd go with your answer. just spin it around the Origin. @surjithayer

23. anonymous

Okay so what exactly would my answer be?

24. anonymous

what?

25. IrishBoy123

$$2\pi$$ will spin you around the polar co-ordinate system forever but you can also switch r at this point we start immersing ourselves in maths.

26. anonymous

r is the distance from pole and is always positive.|dw:1440280725909:dw|

27. IrishBoy123

why can't it be negative?
