uh still working on this one but I believe you would start with y = r*sin(theta) and try to re-write rcsc(theata) = 8 in terms of y only

Vocaloid:

alright I think I got it converting csc to sin gives us r/sin(theta) = 8 multiply the numerator and the denominator by r gives us r^2/rsin(theta) = 8 r^2 = x^2 + y^2 using the polar to rectangular conversion rsin(theta) = y using that same reasoning, so (x^2 + y^2) / y = 8 multiply both sides by y then complete the square on the y-terms to get the solution

zarkam21:

A

Vocaloid:

hm, try one more time, notice how (x^2 + y^2) / y = 8 has an x term in it

zarkam21:

so either c or d

Vocaloid:

multiplying both sides by y gives us x^2 + y^2 = 8y subtracting 8y from both sides: x^2 + y^2 - 8y = 0 try completing the square on the y terms

zarkam21:

C

Vocaloid:

as a review: to complete the square, start with the coefficient on the y term (not the y^2 term, the y term) , divide by 2, square the result, then add that to both sides

B and D

Vocaloid:

B is good, D does not work because it doesn't have radial symmetry (not all the points are the same distance from the origin)

zarkam21:

A

zarkam21:

well i guess c

Vocaloid:

if B is true then C is automatically false A doesn't work either because it's not symmetric about that line

D

Vocaloid:

it's probably not a line (polar graphs tend to produce curved/rounded images) any attempts to graph this? https://www.desmos.com/calculator/ms3eghkkgz

not quite as a hint, graphing the coordinates gives more of a ~heart~ shape

you reposted the same image about the polar coordinates question

sorry

zarkam21:

this may be circle i tink

Vocaloid:

had to look this one up but since we only have a theta value (no r) we assume this is a straight line with theta = -pi/6 and r being any arbitrary number |dw:1527610546459:dw|

|dw:1527610656120:dw| very close but since we have an odd # of petals the (ntheta) has to be odd
