    How Do You Convert Orbital Speed into Integral Form?

    Homework Statement I had to calculate an orbital speed for an arbitrary density ρ(r) I got: V = r*sqrt(G*ρ(r)*4π/3) Homework Equations I am supposed to leave this in integral form, which I don't know how to do as I do not understand calculus. ρ(r) is density of r, hence the...

    MHB Converting r=4+4cos(theta) into rectangular form

    So how do I convert r=4+4cos(theta) into rectangular form? I know that r^2 = x^2+y^2 and that rcos(theta) = x. Would the start of the solution be: sqrt(x^2 + y^2) = 4+4x If yes, I don't know where to go from there.
