r 45 3 sin theta r 82 5 cos theta Find equation in both
Solution
a ) Given that
r = 4 /( 5 - 3sin )
We know that
In rectangular form , r2 = x2 + y2 , x = rcos , y = rsin
r = ( x2 + y2 )1/2
r = 4 /( 5 - 3sin )
r ( 5 - 3sin ) = 4
5r - 3rsin = 4
5 ( x2 + y2 )1/2 - 3y = 4
Therefore,
Rectangular form is 5 ( x2 + y2 )1/2 - 3y = 4
2 ) Given that
r = 8/( 2-5cos )
r ( 2-5cos ) = 8
2r - 5rcos = 8
2( x2 + y2 ) 1/2 - 5x = 8
Therefore,
Rectangular form is 2( x2 + y2 ) 1/2 - 5x = 8
