Question

identify the horizontal and vertical intercepts of the limacon represented by the equation r=7+3cos theta

Answer 1

Answer:

horizontal intercept: -10 and 4

vertical intercept: -7 and 7

Step-by-step explanation:

if a>b>0 then:

The horizontal intercept or x intercept are: -(a+b) and (a-b)

The vertical intercept or y intercept are : -a , a

r = 7 + 3 cos theta

a=7 , b=3

horizontal intercept: -(a+b) => -(7+3) => -10

and (a-b) => (7-3) => 4

vertical intercept : -a = -7 and a =7

Answer 2

Answer:

vertical intercepts: (7, pi/2) and (-7, pi/2)

horizontal intercepts: (10,0) and (-4,0)
