Let x = rcos(theta)x=rcos(θ) and y = rsin(theta)y=rsin(θ)

Explanation:

r^2sin^2(theta) = (rcos(theta)-1)^2/(rsin(theta)+rcos(theta)) - r^2cos^2(theta)r2sin2(θ)=(rcos(θ)1)2rsin(θ)+rcos(θ)r2cos2(θ)
r^2(sin^2(theta)+cos^2(theta)) = (rcos(theta)-1)^2/(rsin(theta)+rcos(theta)r2(sin2(θ)+cos2(θ))=(rcos(θ)1)2rsin(θ)+rcos(θ)
r^3 = (rcos(theta)-1)^2/(sin(theta)+cos(theta))r3=(rcos(θ)1)2sin(θ)+cos(θ)

I don't think the expression simplifies further.
