Polar Equations of Conics
Convert the given polar equation to a Cartesian equation. Write in the standard form of a conic, if possible, and identify the conic section represented. r = 4 / (cos(theta) + 6 sin(theta)) The conic section is a(an): not a conic Note that standard forms of conics are (x-h)^2/a^2 + (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1, (x-h)^2/a^2 - (y-k)^2/b^2 = 1, (y - k)^2 = 4p(x - h), and (x - h)^2 = 4p(y - k), and that a circle is an ellipse. If it is a line, enter as y = mx + b.
