Answer 1

Given the equation:

$r=3-5\cos \theta$

Let's identify the type of polar graph for the equation.

To identify the type of polar graph, use the formula below to get the Cartesian form:

$(x^2_{}+y^2)=r(\cos \theta,\sin \theta)$

Thus, we have:

$(x^2+y^2)=3\sqrt[]{x^2+y^2}-5x$

We have the graph of the equation below:

We can see the graph forms a Limacon with an inner loop.

Therefore, the type of polar graph for the given equation is a limacon with inner loop.
