(a) The Cartesian coordinates corresponding to
ρ=1, θ=3π, φ=6π are
xyz=ρsinφcosθ=sin6πcos3π=(21)(21)=41=ρsinφsinθ=sin6πsin3π=(21)(23)=43=ρcosφ=cos6π=23
(b) The Cartesian coordinates corresponding to
ρ=2, θ=2π, φ=2π are
xyz=ρsinφcosθ=2sin2πcos2π=0=ρsinφsinθ=2sin2πsin2π=2=ρcosφ=2cos2π=0
Alternatively, we could just observe that
- as φ=2π the point lies in the xy-plane
and so has z=0 and
- as ρ=2, θ=2π the point lies on the positive y-axis
and is a distance 2 from the origin and so is (0,2,0).
