Graph r= -1 / (2+4sinθ) ON TEST
Divide by 2 (-1/2) / (1+2sinθ) e>1, hyperbola e=2, ep=-1/2, so p=-1/4 REMEMBER- since this is a sin function and there's a horizontal directrix, this means directrix is at y=-1/4 Since this is a sideways hyperbola, the vertices will be on the y-axis. So plug in π/2 and 3π/2 to find them (they're 0, -1/6 and 0, -1/2, respectively) Then find the 2 x-intercepts by plugging in 0 and π (You get 1/2, 0 and -1/2, 0) Then you're done! Double check with desmos
Find polar equation for conic w/ e=3/4 and directrix at y=-4
E less than 1, elipse Directrix is horizontal and negative. p=4 r= (3/4×4) / (1- 3/4sinθ) r=3/ [1- (3/4)sinθ]
If you were going to graph r=3+2cosθ how would you use symmetry
Has x-axis symmetry. Everything below x axis is a reflection. So make a table from 0 to π See example 2, 9-6 notes
Graph θ=5π/3 and put it into rectangular form
It's just a line (put it into desmos) at the 5π/3 place tanθ=y/x tan(-5π/3)=√3 y=√3x or just recognize that this is y=mx+b form and find the slope. Slope is √3
What would r= 7/( 7+ sinθ) look like
Need to get it into ep/ (1+sinθ) form. Divide by 7 r= 1/ ( 1+ (1/7)sinθ) so e<1, elipse Sin is in denominator, so skinny elipse You know p must be 7 (because e=1/7 and ep=1) Plug in π/2 and π to find the points on the major axis Then, once you have the length of the major axis a, use e=c/a and then b²=a²-c² to find the length of the minor (in this case, horizontal) axis
Identify the type of conic represented by r= 15/(3-2cosθ)
Needs to be in form r=ep/(1±ecosθ) so divide everything by 3 r= 5/(1-(2/3)cosθ) then you can see e<1, because 2/3<1 elipse
STUDY THIS- was on review and might be on test Write equation of elipse with vertices (5, 0) and (1, π)
Put into rectangular coordinates (5, 0) and (-1, 0) Find center at (2, 0) need eccentricity a/c a=distance from vertex to center a=3 c=distance from center to focus (0, 0) c=2 e=c/a=2/3 now plug into equation r= (2/3)(p) / 1+ 2/3cosθ Plug in a point like (1,π) to solve for p p=5/3 r= (5/3) / 1+ 2/3cosθ
All polar equations of conics are of the form
Reminder: |p| is the distance between the center and the directrix
What does it mean if the conic equation is in the form ep/1+esinθ
The directrix will be horizontal, and above the center (pole)
What does it mean if the conic equation is in the form ep/1-esinθ
The directrix will be horizontal, and below the center (pole)
What does it mean if the conic equation is in the form ep/1-ecosθ
The directrix will be vertical, and it will be to the left of the center (pole)
What does it mean if the conic equation is in the form ep/1+ecosθ
The directrix will be vertical, and it will be to the right of the center (pole)
If e=1, then the conic is a(n)
parabola remember eccentricity is c/a
Find a polar equation for a parabola with directrix x=-1
parabola so e=1 Directrix is vertical and negative, so -cos equation p=1 since directrix is -1 (and p is the distance from center to focus) ep / (1-ecosθ) 1/ (1-cosθ)

put θ=11π/6 into rectangular form
remember tanθ=y/x tan11π/6= -1/√3 then y= -x/√3 (look at the slope of the line 11π/6 creates)
Convert (5, -7π/6) to rectangular coordinates
remember x=rcosθ and y=rcosθ you should get (-5√3)/2, 5/2
Put x²+y²-6x into polar form ON TEST
remember x²+y²=r², and that x=rcosθ r²-6rcosθ=0 then just solve for r r²=6rcosθ r=6cosθ
Convert y=x² into polar form
remember y=rsinθ (rule) and x=rcosθ (rule) rsinθ= (rcosθ)² rsinθ=r²cos²θ sinθ=rcos²θ solve for r r=(sinθ)/(cos²θ) r=tanθ * (1/cosθ) r=tanθsecθ

Convert θ=π/3 to rectangular

what is the directed angle with polar coordinate system

Write equation of parabola with vertex at (5, π)
this is a sideways parabola with a vertical directrix- cosine equation It's to left of origin so -cos plug into equation r= 1p / (1-cosθ) p/2 = 5 so p=10 r= 10 / 1-cosθ
figure out how to sketch stupid petal things

Find equation of elipse with vertices (2, π/2) and (4, 3π/2)
This is going to be a skinny elipse because vertices on x-axis Means sin in the denominator First convert those points to rectangular form. It's (0,2) and (0, -4) The center must be (0, -1) Now find a, the distance from the center to the vertex. It's 3 c, distance from center to focus (which is 0,0 here), is 1 e=a/c=1/3 Now that you know e, plug in (2, π/2) to solve for p r= 1/3p / (1+1/3sinθ) p=8 So final equation r= 8/ 3+sinθ

Put r²=sin2θ into rectangular form
multiply both sides by r² r⁴=r²(2sinθcosθ) next step idk? r⁴=2rsinθrcosθ then remember rcosθ=x and rsinθ=y and also r²=x²+y² 2xy=(x²+y²)²
Put r=2cosθ into rectangular form
multiply by r on both sides r²=2rcosθ remember r²=x²+y² x²+y²=2rcosθ then remember that rcosθ=x x²+y²=2x
How do you know how many petals a rose curve equation has

What would r=4/(1-cosθ) look like
