Polar conversion Write the equation r2 + r(2 sin θ − 6 cos θ) = 0 in Cartesian coordinates and identify the corresponding curve.
Solution 11RE
Step 1:
Given polar equation is ; + r(2sin(
= 0
In this problem we need to convert the polar equation to cartesian equation.
The relation between cartesian (x, y) and polar coordinates ( r , is ;
x = r cos(, y = r sin(
