a_5=ra_4=r^2a_3=r^3a_2
2304=-36r^3\implies r=-4

Since a_2=ra_1\implies -36=-4a_1\implies a_1=9, the sequence takes the form

a_n=(-4)^{n-1}a_1=9(-4)^{n-1}

Find the polar equation of the conic with the focus at the pole, directrix x = 4, and eccentricity 1.
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Choice D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The eccentricity of the conic section is 1, implying we are looking at a parabola. Parabolas are the only conic sections with an eccentricity of 1.

Next, the directrix of this parabola is located at x = 4. This implies that the parabola opens towards the left and thus the denominator of its polar equation contains a positive cosine function.

Finally, the value of k in the numerator is simply the product of the eccentricity and the absolute value of the directrix;

k = 1*4 = 4

This polar equation is given by alternative D
