Final Answer: The polar coordinates of the point (7,7) are (9.899494936611665,5.497787143782138)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the rectangular coordinates of a point as (7,-7).

Step 2 :We need to convert these rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates with r0 and 0θ<2π.

Step 3 :The polar coordinates of a point in the plane are given by (r,θ) where r is the distance of the point from the origin and θ is the angle the line joining the point to the origin makes with the positive x-axis.

Step 4 :The conversion from rectangular coordinates (x,y) to polar coordinates (r,θ) is given by: r=x2+y2 and θ=arctan(yx).

Step 5 :However, the arctan function only gives values in the range (π/2,π/2), so we need to adjust the value of θ depending on the quadrant of the point.

Step 6 :If x>0 and y0, θ is in the correct range.

Step 7 :If x>0 and y<0, we need to add 2π to θ to bring it into the range (0,2π).

Step 8 :If x<0, we need to add π to θ to bring it into the correct range.

Step 9 :If x=0 and y>0, θ=π/2.

Step 10 :If x=0 and y<0, θ=3π/2.

Step 11 :For the given point (7,7), we have x=7 and y=7.

Step 12 :Calculating r using the formula, we get r=72+(7)2=9.899494936611665.

Step 13 :Calculating θ using the formula, we get θ=arctan(77). Since x>0 and y<0, we need to add 2π to θ to bring it into the range (0,2π). So, θ=5.497787143782138.

Step 14 :Final Answer: The polar coordinates of the point (7,7) are (9.899494936611665,5.497787143782138)
