(x3)2+(y72)2=854

Explanation:

r2=x2+y2
x=rcosθ
y=rsinθ

r2=6rcosθ+7rsinθ

x2+y2=6x+7y

x26x+9+y27y+494=9+494

(x3)2+(y72)2=854

(x3)2+(y72)2=(852)2

Explanation:

Given: r=6cos(θ)+7sin(θ)

Multiply both sides of the equation by r:

r2=6rcos(θ)+7rsin(θ)

Substitute r2=x2+y2, y=rsin(θ), and x=rcos(θ):

x2+y2=6x+7y

Technically, we are done but we recognize that the equation is not in a standard form, therefore, we shall proceed.

Move everything to the left so that the equation equals 0:

x26x+y27y=0

Add h2+k2 to both sides so that we can complete the squares:

x26x+h2+y27y+k2=h2+k2

Use the middle terms to find the values of h and k:

2hx=6x and 2ky=7y

h=3 and k=72

Write the left side as squares and the right side as 32+(72)2:

(x3)2+(y72)2=32+(72)2

Simplify the right side:

(x3)2+(y72)2=854

To comply with the standard Cartesian form of the equation of a circle, we should write the right side as a square:

(x3)2+(y72)2=(852)2

Rectangular form is (x3)2+(y3.5)2=21.25

Explanation:

We know ,r2=x2+y2,x=rcosθ,y=rsinθ

r=6cosθ+7sinθ or

rr=(6cosθ+7sinθ)r or

r2=6rcosθ+7rsinθ or

x2+y2=6x+7y or

x26x+y27y=0 or

x26x+9+y27y+3.52=9+12.25 or

(x3)2+(y3.5)2=21.25

Rectangular form is (x3)2+(y3.5)2=21.25
