(vii) (92,19π12)(\dfrac{9}{2},\dfrac{19\pi}{12})

Here r=92>0r=\dfrac{9}{2}>0.

19π12=2π5π12\frac{19\pi}{12}=2\pi-\frac{5\pi}{12}

So it lies in Quadrant IV.

Use:

cos19π12=cos5π12=624,sin19π12=sin5π12=6+24\cos\frac{19\pi}{12}=\cos\frac{5\pi}{12}=\frac{\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2}}{4},\quad \sin\frac{19\pi}{12}=-\sin\frac{5\pi}{12}=-\frac{\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2}}{4} x=92cos19π12=9(62)8y=92sin19π12=9(6+2)8\begin{aligned} x&=\frac{9}{2}\cos\frac{19\pi}{12}=\frac{9(\sqrt{6}-\sqrt{2})}{8}\\ y&=\frac{9}{2}\sin\frac{19\pi}{12}=-\frac{9(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})}{8} \end{aligned}
