    X²-y²=5

    converting the above into polar form we shall have:

    x=r cosθ; y=r sinθ

    thus

    x²-y²=5 will be written as:

    (r cosθ) ² - (r sinθ) ²=5

    r² cos²θ - r² sin²θ=5

    factoring r² out we get:

    r² (cos²θ - sin²θ) = 5

    using trigonometric identity:

    cos²θ - sin²θ=cos (2θ)

    thus the expression will be:

    r² (cos (2θ)) = 5

    r²=5/cos (2θ)

    hence;

    r=√[5/cos (2θ) ]
