It does not explain it in any of the books ? So no clue even on how to start other than,
R = X squared + Y squared
R = X squared + Y squared
First of all this isn't correct. It should beJurrasic said:It does not explain it in any of the books ? So no clue even on how to start other than,

To convert R=2cosθ into rectangular form, we can use the following formula: x = Rcosθ and y = Rsinθ. This will give us the rectangular coordinates (x,y) in terms of the polar coordinates (R,θ).
Converting from polar to rectangular form allows us to represent a point in a different coordinate system. This can be useful in solving certain mathematical equations or graphing functions.
Yes, R=2cosθ can be graphed in rectangular form. The x-coordinate would be 2cosθ and the y-coordinate would be 2sinθ, where θ is the angle in radians.
In rectangular form, the distance of a point (x,y) from the origin is given by the formula √(x²+y²). This is also known as the Pythagorean theorem.
Yes, most scientific calculators have a "Convert to Rectangular" function which can be used to easily convert polar coordinates into rectangular form.
