The correct Answer is:
To convert the polar coordinates \((r, \theta) = (4, \frac{\pi}{3})\) into Cartesian coordinates \((x, y)\), we can use the following relationships: 1. \(x = r \cos(\theta)\) 2. \(y = r \sin(\theta)\) ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Step 1: Identify the values of \(r\) and \(\theta\)** From the given polar coordinates, we have: - \(r = 4\) - \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}\) **Step 2: Calculate \(x\)** Using the formula for \(x\): \[ x = r \cos(\theta) = 4 \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] We know that \(\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{1}{2}\), so: \[ x = 4 \times \frac{1}{2} = 2 \] **Step 3: Calculate \(y\)** Using the formula for \(y\): \[ y = r \sin(\theta) = 4 \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) \] We know that \(\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\), so: \[ y = 4 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 2\sqrt{3} \] **Step 4: Write the Cartesian coordinates** Now that we have both \(x\) and \(y\): - \(x = 2\) - \(y = 2\sqrt{3}\) Thus, the Cartesian coordinates are: \[ (x, y) = (2, 2\sqrt{3}) \] ### Final Answer: The Cartesian coordinates of the point whose polar coordinates are \((4, \frac{\pi}{3})\) are \((2, 2\sqrt{3})\). ---
