Help TI-84 CONICS App is Giving Trig Formulas

In summary, The TI-84 CONICS app is designed to convert equations in standard form to trigonometric form. This is because trigonometric form is better suited for graphing and analyzing conic sections. You can change the output format of the equations generated by the app by going to the settings and selecting the desired format. The accuracy of the formulas depends on the precision settings and input values, so it is recommended to double-check the equations for accuracy. The trigonometric formulas can be converted back to standard form using the inverse function of the app, but the accuracy may vary depending on the precision settings. The app can handle all types of conic sections, but the precision settings may need to be adjusted for more complex equations.

TI-84 HELP!
The formulas under the CONICS app keeps converting into trig... It saying a circle is
x=rcos(T) + H instead of (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
How do I get the 'normal' formulas back?
PLEASE HELP!
