Question

Convert r = 8cos θ to rectangular form.

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert from polar to rectangular form

• x = rcosΘ , y = rsinΘ

• r = $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ ⇒ r² = x² + y²

Given

r = 8cosΘ

r = 8 × $\frac{x}{r}$ ( multiply both sides by r )

r² = 8x, hence

x² + y² = 8x ⇒ D
