Answer:

The graph is symmetric about the x-axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Symmetry about the x-axis: If the point (r, θ ) lies on the graph, then the point  (r, -θ ) or (-r, π - θ ) also lies on the graph.

2. Symmetry about the y-axis: If the point (r, θ ) lies on the graph, then the point (r,  π - θ ) or (-r, -θ ) also lies on the graph.

3. Symmetry about the origin: If the point (r, θ ) lies on the graph, then the point (-r, θ ) or (r, π + θ ) also lies on the graph.

The given polar equation is

r=2\cos (5\theta)

Check the equation by (r, -θ).

r=2\cos (-5\theta)=2\cos (5\theta)=r

Therefore, the graph is symmetric about the x-axis.

Check the equation by (-r, -θ).

-r=2\cos (-5\theta)=2\cos (5\theta)=r\neq -r

Therefore, the graph is not symmetric about the y-axis.

Check the equation by (-r, θ).

-r=2\cos (5\theta)=2\cos (5\theta)=r\neq -r

Therefore, the graph is not symmetric about the origin.

Looking at the graph, we'll notice that there is a local maximum at x=0 and it looks similar on both sides of the y axis, therefore making it symmetric around the y axis given the options

Answer:

They are neither parallel nor perpendicular.

it isn't parallel because they cross

it's not perpendicular because they don't cross at a 90 degree angle

PLEASE HELP A.S.A.P.!<br><br> Solve the equation:<br><br> |x-1|+|x-2|=3
Svetlanka [38]
X=3

Explanation-

(x-1)+(x-2)=3
x-1+(x-2)=3
x-1+x-2=3
Then collect the two like terms
x-1+x-2=3=
2x-1-2=3
Calculate the difference
x-1+x-2=3=
2x-3=3
———————
2x-3=3
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
2x=3+3
———————————————————-
2x=3+3
Add the numbers

2x=6
————————————————-
2x=6

Divide both sides of the equation by two

X=3

There you go. Have a great day! :)
