question 106

Multiple Choice

Convert the polar equation to rectangular coordinates. $r + \cos \theta = 4$

• A) \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + x \right) ^ { 2 } = 16 \left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• B) \(x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } = 16 ( x + y )\)
• C) \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } - x \right) ^ { 2 } = 16 \left( x ^ { 2 } - y ^ { 2 } \right)\)
• D) \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + 2 x \right) ^ { 2 } = 4 ( x + y )\)
• E) \(\left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } + x \right) ^ { 2 } = 4 \left( x ^ { 2 } + y ^ { 2 } \right)\)
