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

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

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

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
