Find the polar equation for the Cartesian equation x42 y2
Find the polar equation for the Cartesian equation
(x-4)^2 + y^2 = 16
(x-4)^2 + y^2 = 16
Solution
(x-4)^2 + y^2 = 16
x-4 = 4 cos
y = 4 sin
r² - 8r cos(t) + 16 = 16
r^2 = 8 r cost
r = 8 cost

(x-4)^2 + y^2 = 16
x-4 = 4 cos
y = 4 sin
r² - 8r cos(t) + 16 = 16
r^2 = 8 r cost
r = 8 cost
