\n" ); document.write( "r = sqrt(x^2+y^2)
\n" ); document.write( "theta = arctan(y/x)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Your problem::
\n" ); document.write( "sqrt(x^2+y^2) = 1/(2 + (y/sqrt(x^2+y^2))
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Cross-multiply to get:
\n" ); document.write( "2sqrt(x^2+y^2) + y = 1
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "2sqrt(x^2+y^2) = 1-y
\n" ); document.write( "Square both sides to get:
\n" ); document.write( "4(x^2+y^2) = 1 - 2y + y^2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 + 4y^2 = 1 - 2y + y^2
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "1-2y = 4x^2 + 3y^2
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "3y^2 + 2y + 4x^2 = 1
\n" ); document.write( "Complete the square to get:
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "3(y^2+(2/3)y + (1/9) + 4x^2 = 1+ 3(1/9)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3(y+(1/3))^2 + 4x^2 = (4/3)
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "(y+(1/3))^2/(4/9) + 4x^2/(4/3) = 1
