Question

What are the components of the vector between the origin and the polar coordinate `(-3, (5pi)/3)`?

Answer 1

See explanation.

Explanation:

This example is wrong because the radius cannot be a negative number, but generally the carthesian coordinates of a given polar coordinate point `(r,varphi)` can be calculated as:

`x=rsinvarphi` and `y=rcosvarphi`
