SOLUTION: Convert (0,3) to polar coordinates.
so far: tan theta=y/x=3/0=0
r^2=x^2+y^2
Where do I go from here?

Remember, you CANNOT divide by zero. So , is undefined. It turns out that when the argument for the arctangent is undefined, this means that the angle is either 90 degrees or 270 degrees. Because the y coordinate is positive, this means that the angle theta is 90 degrees (or radians)
Now, let's find the radius "r"
Start with the given formula
Plug in and which are the coordinates to (0,3)
Square and simplify
Take the square root of both sides
So the radius is 3 which means that the point (0,3) in polar coordinates is: )
