Solution

Here, r = `3/4` and θ = `(3pi)/(4)`

Let the cartesian coordinates be (x, y)

Then,

x = `r cos θ = 3/4 cos  (3pi)/(4) = 3/4 cos(pi - pi/4)`

= `-3/4 cos  pi/(4) = -3/4 xx 1/sqrt(2) = - 3/(4sqrt(2))`

y = `r sin θ = 3/4sin  (3pi)/(4) = (3)/(4)sin(pi - pi/4)`

= `(3)/(4)sin  pi/(4) = (3)/(4) xx (1)/sqrt(2) = 3/(4sqrt(2))`

∴ The cartesian coordinates of the given point are `(- 3/(4sqrt(2)), (3)/(4sqrt(2)))`.
