Answer

$(a)$ $(3,\ \pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(-3,\ \pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(b)$ $(-3,\ \pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(+3,\ \pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(c)$ $(3,\ -\pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(-3,\ -\pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(d)$ $(-3,\ -\pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(+3,\ -\pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$

Work Step by Step

Plotting $(r,\theta):$ - if $r$ is positive, then the point lies on the terminal side of $\theta+2k\pi,\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ - if $r$ is negative, then the point lies opposite the terminal side of $\theta$, it lies on the terminal side of $\theta\pm\pi+2k\pi=\theta+ (2k+1)\pi,\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(a)$ $(3,\ \pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(-3,\ \pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(b)$ $(-3,\ \pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(+3,\ \pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(c)$ $(3,\ -\pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(-3,\ -\pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ $(d)$ $(-3,\ -\pi/4+2k\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$ or $(+3,\ -\pi/4+(2k+1)\pi),\ k\in \mathbb{Z}$
