However, there are other ways of writing a coordinate pair and other types of grid systems. In this section, we introduce to polar coordinates, which are points labeled (r,θ) and plotted on a polar grid. The polar grid is represented as a series of concentric circles radiating out from the pole, or the origin of the coordinate plane.

As the name suggests, cylindrical coordinates are useful for dealing with problems involving cylinders, such as calculating the volume of a round water tank or the amount of oil flowing through a pipe. Similarly, spherical coordinates are useful for dealing with problems involving spheres, such as finding the volume of domed structures.

To plot a point in the form (r,θ), θ>0, move in a counterclockwise direction from the polar axis by an angle of θ, and then extend a directed line segment from the pole the length of r in the direction of θ.

It covers the classification of numbers (natural, whole, integers, rational, and irrational) and explains how to plot points and graph equations on the Cartesian plane. The section also discusses intervals and the distance formula, providing foundational knowledge for working with functions and graphs in Algebra.
