Copy of Polar Coordinates! (Intro)

[color=#000000]The applet below illustrates how to plot points whose coordinates are written in [b]POLAR FORM[/b]. [br]You can adjust the values of [/color][color=#0000ff][b]r[/b][/color][color=#000000] and [/color][color=#980000][b]theta[/b][/color][color=#000000] by using the sliders or the input boxes. [br](This grapher will only accept [/color][color=#980000][b]theta[/b][/color][color=#000000] values ranging from [/color][color=#980000][b]-2pi to 2pi[/b][/color][color=#000000]). [br][br]Slide the [b]black slider[/b] to illustrate how polar coordinates are plotted. [br][/color][br][color=#000000]Interact with this applet for a few minutes, then answer the questions that follow. [br][/color]
Plot the following points using the calculator above: (3, pi/2) and (-3, 3pi/2). What do you notice?
Can you come up with a different set of polar coordinates for the location given in the first question? If so, list it/them!
