I need to convert this equation from polar to rectangular form: r= 2/sinθ

Question

anonymous · Answer

r sin(theta) = 2

Can you finish it up?

anonymous · Answer

I'll try

anonymous · Answer

wait....

anonymous · Answer

isn't r sin θ just x?

anonymous · Answer

That's what I've instructed @ your previous post, have I ?

anonymous · Answer

lol.....sorry.

anonymous · Answer

Take a good look at it, before jumping around for nothing (sigh! )

anonymous · Answer

r sin (theta) = y

anonymous · Answer

Soo....in this problem r(sinθ + cosθ) = 2

anonymous · Answer

I would distribute the r & then convert?

anonymous · Answer

In this one, you want rectangular form, so just x, y ( no more sin, cos and theta)
=> y = 2

anonymous · Answer

It's opposite with your last post which need POLAR ( sin, cos & angle theta) !

anonymous · Answer

POLAR relates to Circle -> involve with sin (theta) and cos (theta)
While RETANGULAR is the x, y coordinate !

anonymous · Answer

Try to take time, absorb the concept one time for all. No more confusion!

anonymous · Answer

I try. It's just hard to understand with so many variations of the equations since different formats require different steps

anonymous · Answer

like, if the polar equation was a fraction

anonymous · Answer

r=5/2sinθ+5cosθ

alexwee123 · Answer

2rsinθ + 5rcosθ=5
can you solve it out now?
hint* rsinθ=y and rcosθ=x

anonymous · Answer

lol....yeahh

anonymous · Answer

it was so simple

anonymous · Answer

Yep, just practice MORE by yourself!
