How do you write the rectangular equations for #r=sin(theta)+1#?

1 Answer

Jul 12, 2016

#x^2 + y^2 = y + sqrt(x^2 + y^2)#

Explanation:

#r = sin theta + 1#

using #y = r sin theta# and #r^2 = x^2 + y^2#

#r = y/r + 1#

#r^2 = y + r#

#x^2 + y^2 = y + sqrt(x^2 + y^2)#

very ugly but not much more you can do with it
