Asked by Ellie
change the polar equation r=5/1+cos(theta) to rectangular form.
How do I do this? Thank you! :)

recall:
sinØ = y/r
cosØ = x/r
r^2 = x^2 + y^2
I will assume you mean:
r=5/(1+cos(theta) )
r=5/(1+x/r)
r + x = 5
√(x^2 + y^2) = 5-x

x^2 + y^2 = (5 - x) square right side since x^2 + y^2 = r^2
x^2 + y^2 = 25 - 10x + x^2 the x^2 cancel out
-x^2 -x^2'
y^2 = 25 - 10x is the answer
x^2 + y^2 = 25 - 10x + x^2 the x^2 cancel out
-x^2 -x^2'
y^2 = 25 - 10x is the answer
