Converting the polar equation $r=12-sintheta+2sin3theta+2sin5theta-sin7theta+3cos2theta-2cos4theta$ to...
$begingroup$
How do I convert the following polar equation to rectangular equation?
$$r = 12 - sin(θ) + 2sin(3θ) + 2sin(5θ) - sin(7θ) +3cos(2θ) - 2cos(4θ)$$

Try to expres in terms of $costheta$ and $sin theta$ only, then $x = r cos theta$ etc.

Hint #1: Use some of the sum-to-product reduction formulas, for instance $$sin x + sin y = 2 sin frac {x+y} 2 cos frac {x-y} 2$$ to reduce it to at most $4 theta$.
Hint #2: If you know that $x = r cos theta$ and $y = r sin theta$, can you establish the other identities? To wit: $x y = r^2 cos theta sin theta rightarrow 2 x y = 2 r^2 cos theta sin theta rightarrow 2 x y = r^2 sin 2theta rightarrow frac {2 x y} {r^2} = sin 2theta$, etc.
