Convert the polar coordinates (-3, -60°) to Cartesian coordinates.

Answer:

(1.5,-2.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the polar coordinates (-3,60°).

Let our Cartesian coordinates be (x,y)

#We know that when converting the rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar (r,θ), then:

r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\\therefore r^2=x^2+y^2\\\\\theta=tan^{-1}(y/x)\\\therefore tan \theta=y/x

#Using the illustration above, we can express our polar coordinates as:

-3=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\\\\-60\textdegree=tan^{-1}(y/x}

#Solve simultaneously to solve for x and y:

(-3)^2=x^2+y^2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ i\\\\tan(-0\texdegree)=y/x\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...ii\\\\y=x\ tan(-60\textdegree)\ \ \ \ \ \ \ ...iii\\\\\#substitute\  y \ in\  i\\\\(-3)^2=x^2+(x \ tan (-60\textdegree))^2\\\\9=x^2+3x^2\\\\x=\sqrt{9/4}=1.5\\\\y=1.5\ tan(-60\textdegree)=-2.5981\approx-2.6

Hence, the Cartesian coordinates are (1.5,-2.6)

1. The ordered pair (-1, -1) is a solution of the system -4x + 2y = 2 and x + y = -2.
Nastasia [14]
1: (-1,-1) is (x, y) to see if it is a solution, you would just plug in x and y and see if the equation is true.
-4 (-1) + 2(-1) = 2
4 + -2 = 2
2 = 2 CORRECT
So... plug in x and y in the second equation to Make sure it works for that one too.
-1 + -1 = -2
-2 = -2 CORRECT
So, yes. (-1,-1) is a solution to both equations.

Is y = -x + 5 non-linear or linear
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

It's linear

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear equations have no exponents higher than a 1, which is the case for this equation cause if there's no exponent it's cause it's just a 1. Non-linear has a exponent higher than a 1, ex. x^{2}
