Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.102 Convert Between Rectangular and Polar Equations skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
Convert (x2 + y2)2 = 5x2 - 3y2 to a simplified polar equation.
Ar2 = 5cos2(theta) - 3sin2(theta)
Br2 = 5sin2(theta) - 3cos2(theta)
Cr = 5cos2(theta) - 3sin2(theta)
Dr2 = 5cos(theta) - 3sin(theta)
Solution & Explanation:Use x2 = r2 cos2(theta) and y2 = r2 sin2(theta). Then r4 = r2(5cos2(theta) - 3sin2(theta)), so r2 = 5cos2(theta) - 3sin2(theta).
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
Convert (x2 + y2)2 = 4x2 + 9y2 to a simplified polar equation.
Ar2 = 4cos2(theta) + 9sin2(theta)
Br2 = 4sin2(theta) + 9cos2(theta)
Cr = 4cos2(theta) + 9sin2(theta)
Dr2 = 13sin(theta)cos(theta)
Solution & Explanation:The left side is r4. The right side is r2(4cos2(theta) + 9sin2(theta)), so divide by r2 to get r2 = 4cos2(theta) + 9sin2(theta).
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Convert the polar equation r2 = 12sin2(theta) to rectangular form.
A(x2 + y2)2 = 12y2
Bx2 + y2 = 12y2
C(x2 + y2)2 = 12x2
Dx2 + y2 = 12sin2(theta)
Solution & Explanation:Since sin(theta) = y/r, multiply by r2 to avoid a denominator: r4 = 12y2. Then r2 = x2 + y2, so (x2 + y2)2 = 12y2.
