Apoint p is given in cartesian coordinates by p(−1, 1). find polar coordinates (r, θ) of this point with r < 0 and 0 ≤ θ < 2π.

The radius is the distance from (0, 0). It is found using the Pythagorean theorem.

r = √((-1)²+1²) = √2

The angle θ is found from the fact that r·sin(θ) = y = 1, and r·cos(θ) = x = -1. We take the ratio of these to get

... tan(θ) = 1/-1

... θ = arctan(-1) = 3π/4 . . . . . considering quadrant

Then the polar coordinates (r, θ) are (√2, 3π/4). You can multiply these by 1 = (-1, π) to get a negative value for r:

... (-1, 1) ⇒ (-√2, 7π/4)

Multiplying numbers in polar coordinates multiplies their magnitudes and adds their angles.

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
