    Conversion from Polar to Cartesian (ellipse)

    I came up with r= \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} and sin(\theta)=y/r \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \frac{1}{8-4sin(\theta)} \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} = \frac{1}{8-(\frac{4y}{r})} x^2 + y^2 = 64 - \frac{64y}{r} + \frac{16y^2}{r^2} pretty sure I chose the wrong order of events there... But when I tried the...
