Rectangle to Polar Form
How would I change: 2x+3y=4
into polar form? I understand how to solve for polar form but the 4 without a variable is confusing me. |

[tex]2 r cos \theta + 3 r sin \theta = 4[/tex]
[tex]r(2 cos \theta + 3 sin \theta) = 4[/tex] [tex]2 cos \theta + 3 sin \theta = 4/r[/tex] [tex]\frac{4}{2 cos \theta + 3 sin \theta} = r[/tex] whats wrong with that? |
