Answer: Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have functions of r(θ)

In our graph, we can see that the minimum value of r is when θ = 0°, and the maximum value is when θ = 180°.

We also know that the graph is in the square (-5, 5)x(-5, 5) and you can see that the maximum radius is almost less than 5.

Then let's analyze the options:

A) r = 3 - 2*cos(θ)

the maximum is at the right angle, but the maximum is:

r = 3 -2*(-1) = 5, so this maximum value is bigger than the one in the graph.

B) r = 3 - sin(θ)

For the sin functions, the maximum and minimum do not correspond with the values i write earlier, so we can discard this option.

C) r = 3 - cos(θ)

The maximum is: r = 3 - (-1) = 4, so this may be the correct answer.

the minimum is r = 3 - 1 = 2,

this is a possible equation for our circle.

D) r = 2 - 2*cos(θ)

Here, when θ = 0, we have: r = 2 - 2*1 = 0, but in the graph we can see that the radius is not 0 when θ = 0, so we can discard this option.

So the only option that makes sense is option C.

What is the domain and range? Is the relation a function? Explain why or why not. {(2, 0), (5.0), (0.5), (0, 2)}​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Domain: {0, 2, 5}

Range: {0, 2, 5}

The relation is not a function since the 0 appears more than once as an x-coordinate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The domain is the set of the x-coordinates.

The range is the set of the y-coordinates.

If any value appears more than once as an x-coordinate, it is not a function.

Domain: {0, 2, 5}

Range: {0, 2, 5}

The relation is not a function since the 0 appears more than once as an x-coordinate.
