Convert to Rectangular rsin(theta)=8

$r \sin (θ) = 8$

Step 1

Since $\sin (θ) = \frac{y}{r}$ , replace $\sin (θ)$ with $\frac{y}{r}$ .

$r \frac{y}{r} = 8$

Step 2

Step 3

Since $r^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2}$ , replace $r^{2}$ with $x^{2} + y^{2}$ and $r$ with $\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}$ .

$\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}} y = 8 \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}$

Step 4

Solve for $y$ .

Solve for $\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}$ .

To remove the radical on the left side of the equation, square both sides of the equation.

${\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}}^{2} = 0^{2}$

Simplify each side of the equation.

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}$ as ${(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

${({(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2} = 0^{2}$

Simplify the left side.

Simplify ${({(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$ .

Multiply the exponents in ${({(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{2}$ .

Rewrite the expression.

${(x^{2} + y^{2})}^{1} = 0^{2}$

Simplify.

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 0^{2}$

Simplify the right side.

Raising $0$ to any positive power yields $0$ .

$x^{2} + y^{2} = 0$

Solve for $y$ .

Subtract $x^{2}$ from both sides of the equation.

$y^{2} = - x^{2}$

Take the specified root of both sides of the equation to eliminate the exponent on the left side.

$y = \pm \sqrt{- x^{2}}$

Simplify $\pm \sqrt{- x^{2}}$ .

Reorder $- 1$ and $x^{2}$ .

$y = \pm \sqrt{x^{2} \cdot - 1}$

Pull terms out from under the radical.

$y = \pm x \sqrt{- 1}$

Rewrite $\sqrt{- 1}$ as $i$ .

$y = \pm x i$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

First, use the positive value of the $\pm$ to find the first solution.

$y = x i$

Next, use the negative value of the $\pm$ to find the second solution.

$y = - x i$

The complete solution is the result of both the positive and negative portions of the solution.

$y = x i$

$y = - x i$

$y = x i$

$y = - x i$

$y = x i$

$y = - x i$

$y = x i$

$y = - x i$
