Prove algebraically that r = 10/2+2sinTheta is a parabola

Answer:

y =  -  \frac{ 1 }{10} {x}^{2}   +  \frac{5}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to prove algebraically that:

r =  \frac{10}{2 + 2 \sin \theta}

is a parabola.

We use the relations

{r}^{2}  =  {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2}

and

y = r \sin \theta

Before we substitute, let us rewrite the equation to get:

r(2 + 2 \sin \theta) = 10

Or

r(1+  \sin \theta) = 5

Expand :

r+  r\sin \theta= 5

We now substitute to get:

\sqrt{ {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} }  + y = 5

This means that:

\sqrt{ {x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} }=5 - y

Square:

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} =(5 - y)^{2}

Expand:

{x}^{2}  +  {y}^{2} =25 - 10y +  {y}^{2}

{x}^{2}  =25 - 10y

{x}^{2}  - 25 =  - 10y

y =  -  \frac{ {x}^{2} }{10}  +  \frac{5}{2}

This is a parabola (0,2.5) and turns upside down.

Answer:

0.5* sin(x)

Step-by-step explanation:

As well known  sin (2A)= 2sin(A)*cos(A)

As in our case A=x/2  => cos(x/2*sin(x/2)=1/2*sin(x)=0.5*sin(x)
