Turns out that I'm going to need help with this question. I wasn't able to figure it out on my own. Thanks for the help!

Answer:
r=1
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 +y^2 =1
We know that x^2 + y^2 = r^2
Replacing that in the equation
r^2 =1
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(r^2) = sqrt(1)
r =1
The other way is to replace x with r cos theta and y with r sin theta
(r cos theta)^2 + (r sin theta) ^2 =1
r^2 cos^2 theta + r^2 sin^2 theta = 1
Factor out r^2
r^2 (cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta) =1
We know cos^2 theta + sin^2 theta =1
r^2 (1) =1
r^2 =1
Answer:
r = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The usual translation between rectangular coordinates and polar coordinates is ...
Substituting these into your equation, you get ...
(r·cos(θ))² + (r·sin(θ))² = 1
r²(cos(θ)² +sin(θ)²) = 1 . . . . . . factor out r²
r²(1) = 1 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . use the trig identity cos(θ)² +sin(θ)² = 1
r = 1 . . . . . . . take the square root

It's that simple. Just as x=1 describes a line in Cartesian coordinates, r=1 describes a circle in polar coordinates.
