Step 1.1.1
Rewrite sec(θ)sec(θ) in terms of sines and cosines.
r=31cos(θ)r=31cos(θ)
Step 1.1.2
Combine 33 and 1cos(θ).
r=3cos(θ)
r=3cos(θ)
r=3cos(θ)
Step 2
Since cos(θ)=xr, replace cos(θ) with xr.
r=3xr
Step 3
Multiply both sides by r.

Step 3.2.1
Multiply r by r.
r2=r3xr
r2=r3xr
Step 3.3
Simplify the right side.

Step 3.3.1.1
Multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator.
r2=r(3rx)
Step 3.3.1.2
Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.
r2=3rrx
Step 3.3.1.3
Multiply 3rrx.

Step 3.3.1.3.1
Combine 3 and rx.
r2=r3rx
Step 3.3.1.3.2
Combine r and 3rx.
r2=r(3r)x
Step 3.3.1.3.3
Raise r to the power of 1.
r2=3(r1r)x
Step 3.3.1.3.4
Raise r to the power of 1.
r2=3(r1r1)x
Step 3.3.1.3.5
Use the power rule aman=am+n to combine exponents.
r2=3r1+1x
Step 3.3.1.3.6
Add 1 and 1.
r2=3r2x
r2=3r2x
r2=3r2x
r2=3r2x
r2=3r2x
Step 4
Since r2=x2+y2, replace r2 with x2+y2 and r with x2+y2.
x2+y2=3(x2+y2)x
