The letters r and $胃$ represent polar coordinates. Write each equation using rectangular coordinates $(x, y)$ .
role="math" localid="1646746889027" $r = \frac{4}{1 - \cos 胃}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The equation is written using rectangular coordinates as $y^{2} = 8 (x + 2)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given Information

We are given an equation $r = \frac{4}{1 - \cos 胃}$ .

We need to write the equation using rectangular coordinates.

Step 2. Concept Used

If P is a point with polar coordinates $(r, 胃)$ , the rectangular coordinates $(x, y)$ of P are given by

$x = r \cos 胃 y = r \sin 胃$

And it implies that $x^{2} + y^{2} = r^{2}$ .

Step 3. Convert into rectangular coordinates

In the given equation $r = \frac{4}{1 - \cos 胃}$ , we multiply both sides by $1 - \cos 胃$ and we get

$\begin{array}{rcl} r (1 - \cos 胃) & = & \frac{4}{1 - \cos 胃} (1 - \cos 胃) \\ r - r \cos 胃 & = & 4 \end{array}$

Now using the relations we substitute $\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}$ for $r$ and $x$ for $r \cos 胃$ and we get

$\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} - x = 4$

Step 4. Simplify the equation

Add $x$ to both sides of the equation and then square both sides and simplify.

role="math" $\begin{array}{rcl} \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} - x + x & = & 4 + x \\ \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} & = & 4 + x \\ {(\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}})}^{2} & = & {(4 + x)}^{2} \\ x^{2} + y^{2} & = & 16 + 8 x + x^{2} \end{array}$

Subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides.

$\begin{array}{rcl} x^{2} + y^{2} - x^{2} & = & 16 + 8 x + x^{2} - x^{2} \\ y^{2} & = & 8 x + 16 \\ y^{2} & = & 8 (x + 2) \end{array}$
