SOLUTION: Write the polar equation r^2 - 2r cos(theta) = 0 in rectangular form. x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0 y = 2x x + y - 2 = 0 x^2 + y^2 - 2x = 0 Any help will be much appreciated!

Question 1023352: Write the polar equation r^2 - 2r cos(theta) = 0 in rectangular form.
x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0
y = 2x
x + y - 2 = 0
x^2 + y^2 - 2x = 0
Any help will be much appreciated!

Write the polar equation r^2 - 2r cos(theta) = 0 in rectangular form.
x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0
y = 2x
x + y - 2 = 0
x^2 + y^2 - 2x = 0
Any help will be much appreciated!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1.   = .

2.  r*cos(theta) = x.


3.  Therefore, the polar equation   =   in rectangular form is

     = .


That's all.

It is your answer.
