How do you convert x=2# to polar form?

1 Answer

Mar 5, 2016

$r = \frac{2}{cos θ}$ $r = 2/costheta$

Explanation:

Using the formula that links Cartesian to Polar coordinates.

$∙ x = r cos θ$ $• x = rcostheta$

hence: $r cos θ = 2 \Rightarrow r = \frac{2}{cos θ}$ $rcostheta = 2 rArr r = 2/costheta$
