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

Determine the next 3 terms after : 1 , -2 , 3 , -4 , 5
baherus [9]
<h3>Answer:  -6, 7, -8</h3>

Start with the sequence {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, ...}

Then change the sign of every other term so you'll have the first term positive, the second term negative, and so on.

That updates to {1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -6, 7, -8, ...}

Every odd term (1,3,5,..) is positive while every even term (-2,-4,-6) is negative.
