in terms of x,y
cos(angle)=x/√(x2+y2)
r=√(x2+y2)
now have
x2+y2=4x
completing square
(x-2)2+y2=22

asked 04/22/23rewrite r=4costhea in rectangular form
show work. Your final answer must be in standard form of a circle.(x-h)^2+(y-k)2=r2

completing square
(x-2)2+y2=22
r = 4cosθ
r2 = 4rcosθ <-- Multiply both sides by r to use the substitution x=rcosθ on the right-hand side
x2+y2 = 4x <-- Recall that r2=x2+y2
x2-4x+y2 = 0
x2-4x+4+y2 = 0+4 <-- Completing the Square
(x-2)2+y2 = 4
Hope this helped!
