Determine if the given polar coordinates represent the same point.
-$$( 6 , \pi / 6 ) , ( 6,7 \pi / 6 )$$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In polar coordinates, the first number represents the radius (distance from the origin) and the second number represents the angle in radians from the positive x-axis. While both points have the same radius (6), their angles ($\pi / 6$ and $7\pi / 6$) point in different directions, thus they do not represent the same point.

Determine If the Given Polar Coordinates Represent the Same Point (6,π/6),(6,7π/6)( 6 , \pi / 6 ) , ( 6,7 \pi / 6 )(6,π/6),(6,7π/6)
