Convert the polar equation r = 2 secØ to a Cartesian equation.y = 2x = 2x^2 = 2

Polar and cartesian equation<h2>Initial explanation</h2>

Let's analyze the relation between r and x and y:

We have that between the indicated value of r (of the polar coordinates) and x and y (of the cartesian coordinates) there is a relation because they form a triangle. If r changes, then the value of x and y will change.

<h2>STEP 1: given equation</h2>

Using the given equation

r = 2 secØ

we have that

$\begin{gathered} r=2secØ \\ \downarrow \\ \frac{r}{2}=secØ \end{gathered}$ <h2>STEP 2: secØ equation</h2>

Observing the image of the initial explanation we have a right triangle, we know that the equation of

secØ for any right triangle is given by:

$\sec Ø=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent side}}$

In this case,

hypotenuse = r

adjacent side = x

then,

$\begin{gathered} \sec Ø=\frac{\text{hypotenuse}}{\text{adjacent side}}=\frac{r}{x} \\ \sec Ø=\frac{r}{x} \end{gathered}$ <h2>STEP 3: comparison between given equation and secØ equation</h2>

Then, we have that:
