The first integer (x) is equal to the consecutive even integers, x+2, x+4.

x = (x+2) + (x+4)

x = 2x + 6

x - 6 = 2x

x = -6 (First integer)

-4 (Second integer)

-2 (Third integer)

Integers: -6, -4, -2

Equation: x = (x+2) + (x+4)

27. Find a polar equation of the conic with focus at the pole that has the given eccentricity and equation of directrix.

ololo11 [35]

The polar equation will be $r=\dfrac{4}{1+cos\theta}$

<h3> What is the polar equation?</h3>

A polar equation is any equation that expresses the relationship between r and theta, where r is the distance between the pole (origin) and a point on a curve, and theta is the counterclockwise angle formed by a point on a curve, the pole, and the positive x-axis.

From the equation, we are told that

The Eccentricity: e = 1

The Directrix is y = 4

Generally, the polar equation for e = 1 and y = + c is mathematically represented as

$r =\dfrac{e\times c}{1+ecos\theta}$
