Determine the graph of the polar equation r=4/(1-1/2cosx(theta))
1 answer:
Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you want the graph of ...
A graphing calculator or spreadsheet is useful for this.
__
You know cos(θ) = cos(-θ), so the graph is symmetrical about the x-axis. You can evaluate the function at a few points to find the general outline.
r at 0° = 8
r at 30° ≈ 7.05
r at 45° ≈ 6.19
r at 60° ≈ 5.33
r at 90° = 4
r at 120° = 3.2
r at 135° ≈ 2.96
r at 150° ≈ 2.79
r at 180° ≈ 2.67

Answer:
f(x) = -4x² + 19x - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
i) If it is translated 2 units in the positive x direction, therefore we use f(x-2)
f(x) = 2x² - 9.5x + 6
If it is then translated 3 units in the positive y, we add 3 to the input function to get:
ii) stretched vertically by a factor of 2, we multiply the function by 2 to get:
iii) reflected across the x-axis
we multiply the parent function by –1, to get a reflection about the x-axis.
