Question

How would you simplify this polar equation to r=?

2=rcos(theta-20)

Would i divide the 2 by both sides?

Answer 1

yes.

Answer 2

Then how would i bring the r out?

Answer 3

Multiply R by both sides so that u have r equals the rest of the equation

Answer 4

r=2/cos(theta-20) -the equation of a line

Answer 5

why wouldnt it be cos(theta-20)/2?

Answer 6

We divide both sides by cos(theta-20)

Answer 7

ohhhh wooow why didn't i think of it that way haha thanks!
