Question: For both of the points plotted in Example 2, change 2/3 to /3 and then find another set of coordinates for each point, similar to

For both of the points plotted in Example 2, change 2π/3 to π/3 and then find another set of coordinates for each point, similar to those shown for the points in the example.


Data from Example 2

The polar coordinates (3, 2π/3) and (3, −4π/3) represent the same point. However, the point (−3, 2π/3) is on the opposite side of the pole from (3, 2π/3), 3 units from the pole. Another possible set of polar coordinates for the point (−3, 2π/3) is (3, 5π/3). These points are shown in Fig. 21.104.
