Answer:

Hyperbola  

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar equation of a conic section with directrix ± d  has the standard form:

r=ed/(1 ± ecosθ)

where e = the eccentricity.

The eccentricity determines the type of conic section:

e = 0       ⇒ circle

0 < e < 1  ⇒ ellipse

e = 1        ⇒ parabola

e > 1        ⇒ hyperbola

Step 1. <em>Convert the equation to standard form </em>

r = 4/(2 – 4 cosθ)

Divide numerator and denominator by 2

r = 2/(1 - 2cosθ)

Step 2. <em>Identify the conic </em>

e = 2, so the conic is a hyperbola.

The polar plot of the function (below) confirms that the conic is a hyperbola.

We have that
<span>negative 3, left-parenthesis space right-parenthesis, negative 1 and one-eighth 
</span>[-3,(  ),-1,1/8]

we know that
<span>the number to insert must be between -3 and -1------> (-3,-1)
</span>
<span>A. negative 3 and one-half -------> is not in the interval (-3,-1)
B. 0 </span>-------> is not in the interval (-3,-1)<span>
C. negative 2 and one-fourth ----> -2 1/4 belong to the interval (-3,-1) 
D. one and one-half </span> -------> is not in the interval (-3,-1)


therefore 
the answer is the option
C. negative 2 and one-fourth
