Explanation:
"to convert from "color(blue)"polar to cartesian"to convert from polar to cartesian
•color(white)(x)r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)∙xr=√x2+y2
•color(white)(x)x=rcosthetarArrcostheta=x/r∙xx=rcosθ⇒cosθ=xr
r=(9x)/rr=9xr
"multiply through by "rmultiply through by r
r^2=9xr2=9x
x^2+y^2=9xx2+y2=9x
x^2-9x+y^2=0x2−9x+y2=0
(x-9/2)^2+y^2=81/4(x−92)2+y2=814
