hmm...i was unable to figure out why should it not represent the "complete" cirle but just an arc....but then i started thinking the "other way"...how would i ever represent a given arc by an equation.....maybe tht line of thought would salvage the situation!!!...but after thinking for 10 mins. i got it i won't be figuring it out!...hopefully u might be able to conclude something out of this "backside work".."how would we represent equation of an arc"!
what geometric interpretation can be given to the aove expression?....and plz also let me know the way u came up with that interpretation!

distance from origin is a multiple of distance from a line...
Can you think it through?
sir although i could not figure it out which line u were talking of[2]
but from the line u wrote "distance from origin is a multiple of distance from a line..."
hopefully it is going to be an ellipse..or sort of other similar curve
but the answer given is tht it represents a arc of a circle!
ooops my wrong....
there was a much simpler interpretation..
but i dont see why it should be a arc of a circle... not a circle itself! :O
just divide by root 3
to get the equation of a circle in standard form
