How do you convert #r= -8(cos(x)+(sin(x)) # into cartesian form? Trigonometry The Polar System Converting Between Systems ↳Redirected from "Can mixtures be separated by chromatography?" 1 Answer Bdub Mar 23, 2016 #(x+4)^2+(y+4)^2=32# Explanation: #r=-8(cos x+sinx)# #r^2=-8r(cosx+sinx)#-> multiply both sides by r #r^2=-8rcosx-8rsinx#->distribute #x^2+y^2=-8x-8y#->use formula #x=rcos theta, y=rsin theta# #x^2+8x+y^2+8y=0# #(x^2+8x+16)+(y^2+8y+16)=16+16#-> complete the square #(x+4)^2+(y+4)^2=32# Answer link Related questions How do you convert rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates?
