Find the polar equation of the curve represented by the given cartesian equation
x2+y2=10cx.
Solution:
Step1: The relation between cartesian and polar coordinates are given by
x  r cos  and y  r sin 
where r is a radius and  is an angle.

The given equation is x2+y2=10cx

Now substitute the value of x and y in the above equation to obtain polar equation.
Step2: Calculation

(r cos  ) 2  (r sin  ) 2  10c( r cos  )

r 2 cos 2   r 2 sin 2   10cr cos 
r 2 (cos 2   sin 2  )  10cr cos 
we know that cos 2   sin 2   1 and dividing r on both the sides
r  10c cos 

Which is the polar equation for the given curve.
