5r^3sinthetacos^2theta-r^2sin^2theta+rcostheta+2+cottheta=05r3sinθcos2θr2sin2θ+rcosθ+2+cotθ=0

Explanation:

The relation between polar coordinates (r,theta)(r,θ) and Cartesian or rectangular coordinates (x,y)(x,y) is given by

x=rcosthetax=rcosθ and y=rsinthetay=rsinθ

Hence, 2=-x-5x^2y-x/y+y^22=x5x2yxy+y2 can be written as

2=-rcostheta-5r^2cos^2thetarsintheta-(rcostheta)/(rsintheta)+r^2sin^2theta2=rcosθ5r2cos2θrsinθrcosθrsinθ+r2sin2θ

or 2=-rcostheta-5r^3sinthetacos^2theta-cottheta+r^2sin^2theta2=rcosθ5r3sinθcos2θcotθ+r2sin2θ

or 5r^3sinthetacos^2theta-r^2sin^2theta+rcostheta+2+cottheta=05r3sinθcos2θr2sin2θ+rcosθ+2+cotθ=0
