is represented by 6. The usual convention in regardto angles will be followed, — the anti-clockwise direction of rotation being con- yP sidered positive. These two quantities are called the polar coordinates of the point, and are written (p, 5). The line OA is called the initial line, and the point… … 64 ANALYTIC GEOMETRY [Ch. V, § 42 will be an indefinite number of angles which have thesame terminal line. If ^ is restricted to values between— 2 TT and 2 tt, any point may be determined by four setsof coordinates. If the polar coordinates of the point P in Fig. 40are (/o, ^), the same point may…
