Answer

$$2{\left( {x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} + 2{\left( {y - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} = 1$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & r = \sin \theta + \cos \theta \cr & {\text{Multiply both sides by }}r \cr & {r^2} = r\sin \theta + r\cos \theta \cr & {\text{Where }}{r^2} = {x^2} + {y^2},{\text{ }}r\sin \theta = y{\text{ and }}r\cos \theta = x \cr & {x^2} + {y^2} = y + x \cr & {x^2} - x + {y^2} - y = 0 \cr & {\text{Complete the square}} \cr & {x^2} - x + \frac{1}{4} + {y^2} - y + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \cr & {\left( {x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} + {\left( {y - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} = \frac{1}{2} \cr & 2{\left( {x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} + 2{\left( {y - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} = 1 \cr} $$
