Rewrite the equation

Rewrite in polar form

r = \frac{- sin ( θ ) - 5 cos ( θ ) + 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )} r = - \frac{sin ( θ ) + 5 cos ( θ ) + 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Evaluate

y = - x^{2} - 5 x + 12

Move the expression to the left side

y + x^{2} + 5 x = 12

To convert the equation to polar coordinates,substitute r cos (θ) for x and r sin (θ) for y

sin (θ) \times r + (cos (θ) \times r)^{2} + 5 cos (θ) \times r = 12

Factor the expression

cos^{2} (θ) \times r^{2} + (sin (θ) + 5 cos (θ)) r = 12

Subtract the terms

cos^{2} (θ) \times r^{2} + (sin (θ) + 5 cos (θ)) r - 12 = 12 - 12

Evaluate

cos^{2} (θ) \times r^{2} + (sin (θ) + 5 cos (θ)) r - 12 = 0

Solve using the quadratic formula

r = \frac{- sin ( θ ) - 5 cos ( θ ) \pm ( sin ( θ ) + 5 cos ( θ ) ) ^{2} - 4 cos ^{2} ( θ ) ( - 12 )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Simplify

r = \frac{- sin ( θ ) - 5 cos ( θ ) \pm 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

r = \frac{- sin ( θ ) - 5 cos ( θ ) + 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )} r = \frac{- sin ( θ ) - 5 cos ( θ ) - 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )}

Solution

r = \frac{- sin ( θ ) - 5 cos ( θ ) + 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )} r = - \frac{sin ( θ ) + 5 cos ( θ ) + 1 + 72 cos ^{2} ( θ ) + 5 sin ( 2 θ )}{2 cos ^{2} ( θ )}
