Question

Convert the polar equation to rectangular coordinates: r=8sec(theta)

Answer 1

well, you know that x=rcos(theta) and y=rsin(theta), right?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

i found x to be 8 but i can't find y

Answer 4

sec(theta)=1/cos(theta)

Answer 5

right, because there is none. The answer is just x=8

Answer 6

oh lol yeah!
can i ask you another question?

Answer 7

Sure. Can't guarantee I'll know the answer. :P

Answer 8

the question is: convert the rectangular equation to the polar coordinates x^2 + y^2 = 9

Answer 9

i found r to be square root of 9 but i can't find theta

Answer 10

right r=3

Answer 11

No theta. :)

Answer 12

ah i see. silly me :P Thanks!!

Answer 13

:) no worries.
