Find a polar equation for the curve represented by the Cartesian equation {eq}y = 8 {/eq}
Question:
Find a polar equation for the curve represented by the Cartesian equation {eq}y = 8 {/eq}
Finding Polar Equation from Cartesian Equation:
The relationship between Cartesian coordinates and Polar coordinates is given by,
{eq}x = r\cos(\theta) {/eq} and {eq}y = r\sin(\theta) {/eq}
To solve the above question, we substitute polar forms of {eq}x {/eq} and {eq}y{/eq} in the given function.
