How do you convert 8=(2x+4y)^2-5y+x8=(2x+4y)25y+x into polar form?

1 Answer

r=(5 sin theta-cos theta+-sqrt(537 sin^2 theta+ 129 cos^2 theta+ 502*sin theta cos theta))/(8*cos^2 theta+32 sin^2 theta+ 32 sin theta cos theta)r=5sinθcosθ±537sin2θ+129cos2θ+502sinθcosθ8cos2θ+32sin2θ+32sinθcosθ

Explanation:

My apologies for the length of the solution. I just wish to provide a quick answer.

From 8=(2x+4y)^2-5y+x8=(2x+4y)25y+x

Use the transformation equivalent x=r cos thetax=rcosθ and y=r sin thetay=rsinθ

Use them in the equation, so that 8=(2x+4y)^2-5y+x8=(2x+4y)25y+x
becomes
8=4(r cos theta+2(r sin theta))^2-5(r sin theta)+r cos theta8=4(rcosθ+2(rsinθ))25(rsinθ)+rcosθ
simplify so that it becomes

(4 cos^2 theta+16 sin^2 theta +16 sin theta cos theta)*r^2+(cos theta-5 sin theta)*r-8=0(4cos2θ+16sin2θ+16sinθcosθ)r2+(cosθ5sinθ)r8=0

Using Quadratic Equation formula for rr

r=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/(2a)r=b±b24ac2a

Use a=4 cos^2 theta+16 sin^2 theta +16 sin theta cos thetaa=4cos2θ+16sin2θ+16sinθcosθ
Use b=cos theta-5 sin thetab=cosθ5sinθ
Use c=-8c=8

So that

r=(-(cos theta-5 sin theta)+-sqrt((cos theta-5 sin theta)^2-4*(4 cos^2 theta+16 sin^2 theta +16 sin theta cos theta)*(-8)))/(2(4 cos^2 theta+16 sin^2 theta +16 sin theta cos theta))r=(cosθ5sinθ)±(cosθ5sinθ)24(4cos2θ+16sin2θ+16sinθcosθ)(8)2(4cos2θ+16sin2θ+16sinθcosθ)

r==(5 sin theta-cos theta+-sqrt(537 sin^2 theta+ 129 cos^2 theta+ 502*sin theta cos theta))/(8*cos^2 theta+32 sin^2 theta+ 32 sin theta cos theta)r==5sinθcosθ±537sin2θ+129cos2θ+502sinθcosθ8cos2θ+32sin2θ+32sinθcosθ

have a nice day!
