SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on graphing polar coordinates defined by the inequalities 0 ≤ θ ≤ π and 0 ≤ r ≤ 4. Participants confirm that the correct representation of these polar coordinates results in a semicircle with a radius of 4, extending from the origin to the point (4, π). The conversation also addresses a similar query regarding the polar coordinates 0 ≤ θ ≤ π and r ≤ 3, which yields a semicircle with a radius of 3. Both sets of polar coordinates are validated as correct by the forum members.
