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.

A tortoise and a hare are competing in a race around a 1600-meter track. The arrogant hare decides to let the tortoise have a 78
Sindrei [870]
I am presuming that the question is who won or by how much did the winner win. 

distance equals rate times time, or d = r*t
For the Hare d = 1600 and r = 10
   1600 = 10 t 
Divide both sides by 10 
t = 160
The hare finished in 160 seconds

For the tortoise d = 1600 - 780 = 820 (due to the head start) and r = 5.3
820= 5.3 t
Divide both sides by 5.3
t = 154.72 (rounded to the hundredths place)

The tortoise won by 5. 28 seconds (160-154.72)
