12.7 problem 3

Dear Professor Taylor,

I have tried many times on number 3. The the last
two are counting my second coordinate as wrong, even though I believe they
are correct.

My Cartesian coordinates are ((5/4)sqrt6, -(5/4)sqrt2,
-(5/2)sqrt2)

My answer is (5, -pi/6, 2.356)


 (-(5/4)sqrt6, -(5/4)sqrt2,
-(5/2)sqrt2)

My answer- (5, -2.6179938,2.256)

Thank you,

The only problem that you are having here is that you are thinking of negative angles, while this webwork problem is set up to only consider positive angles measured counter-clockwise from the positive x-axis.
