Rewrite the equation
r=0r=4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)r=−4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)
Evaluate
y=−2x5
Move the expression to the left side
y+2x5=0
To convert the equation to polar coordinates,substitute x for rcos(θ) and y for rsin(θ)
sin(θ)×r+2(cos(θ)×r)5=0
Factor the expression
2cos5(θ)×r5+sin(θ)×r=0
Factor the expression
r(2cos5(θ)×r4+sin(θ))=0
When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0
r=02cos5(θ)×r4+sin(θ)=0
Solution
More Steps

Factor the expression
2cos5(θ)×r4+sin(θ)=0
Subtract the terms
2cos5(θ)×r4+sin(θ)−sin(θ)=0−sin(θ)
Evaluate
2cos5(θ)×r4=−sin(θ)
Divide the terms
r4=−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)
Evaluate the power
r=±4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)
Separate into possible cases
r=4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)r=−4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)
r=0r=4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)r=−4−2cos5(θ)sin(θ)
