Convert to Polar Coordinates (5,0)

Problem

(5,0)

Solution

1. Identify the Cartesian coordinates (x,y) from the given point, where x=5 and y=0

2. Calculate the radial coordinate r using the formula r=√(,x2+y2)

r=√(,5+0)

r=√(,25)

r=5

3. Determine the angular coordinate θ using the formula tan(θ)=y/x

tan(θ)=0/5

tan(θ)=0

4. Evaluate the angle θ based on the position of the point on the Cartesian plane. Since the point (5,0) lies on the positive x-axis, the angle is 0

θ=0

Final Answer

(5,0)⇒(5,0)
