Rewrite the equation
r=0θ=4π+2kπ,k∈Z
Evaluate
y2−x−2=x2−x−2
Move the expression to the left side
y2−2−x2=−2
To convert the equation to polar coordinates,substitute x for rcos(θ) and y for rsin(θ)
(sin(θ)×r)2−2−(cos(θ)×r)2=−2
Factor the expression
(sin2(θ)−cos2(θ))r2−2=−2
Simplify the expression
(2sin2(θ)−1)r2−2=−2
Subtract the terms
(2sin2(θ)−1)r2−2−(−2)=−2−(−2)
Evaluate
(2sin2(θ)−1)r2=0
Separate into possible cases
r2=02sin2(θ)−1=0
