How to translate from polar to cartesian coordinates:
Thank you both very much for your reply :-) It's been a while since last time I went to school, guess old habits do die sometimes or at least needs refreshing. Another go then: r = 2 /(2 - cos(theta)) r = 2 /(2 - cos(theta)) |* (2 - cos(theta)) both sides r (2 -...- sjombol

How to translate r = 2 /(2 - cos(theta)) to cartesian coordinates: so far: r = 2 /(2 - cos(theta)) r = 2 /(2 - cos(theta)) |* (2 - cos(theta)) both sides r (2 - cos(theta))= 2 2*r - rcos(theta) = 2 | know x = rcos(theta) 2*r - x...- sjombol
