The equation in rectangular coordinates is:
√(x^2 + y^2)*(1 - cos(Atan(y/x))) = 8
What is the rectangular form?
Remember that:
- r = √(x^2 + y^2)
- θ = Atan(y/x)
Then we can just replace that in the given equation:
r - r*cos(θ) = 8
r*(1 - cos(θ)) = 8
Using the above relations, we have:
√(x^2 + y^2)*(1 - cos(Atan(y/x))) = 8
That is the equation in rectangular coordinates.
