: r^2+2r(3costheta-2sintheta)+4=0:r2+2r(3cosθ2sinθ)+4=0.

Explanation:

Simplifying the given eqn., it becomes : x^2+y^2+6x-4y+4=0.:x2+y2+6x4y+4=0.

To convert this cartsn. eqn. into polar, we use the conversion formula ;x=rcostheta, y=rsintheta, and, x^2+y^2=r^2;x=rcosθ,y=rsinθ,and,x2+y2=r2

Sub.ing, we get the eqn. in polar form as : r^2+2r(3costheta-2sintheta)+4=0:r2+2r(3cosθ2sinθ)+4=0.
