    Circle

    Step-by-step explanation:

    r = 2 cos θ

    Multiply both sides by r.

    r² = 2r cos θ

    Convert to rectangular.

    x² + y² = 2x

    x² - 2x + y² = 0

    Complete the square.

    x² - 2x + 1 + y² = 1

    (x - 1) ² + y² = 1

    This is a circle with center (1, 0) and radius 1.
