Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is C on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Just took the practice

Answer 2

We have been given graph of a limacon curve. We are asked to choose the equation that represents the given Limacon.

We can see that our given equation represents a cardiod. The equation of a vertical cardiod is in form $r=a\pm a\cdot \text{sin}(\theta)$ and equation of a horizontal cardiod is $r=a\pm a\cdot \text{cos}(\theta)$.

We can see that our given graph is a vertical cardiod, so its equation will be in form $r=a\pm a\cdot \text{sin}(\theta)$ .

The positive sign gives an upside-down cardiod and negative sign orients the cardiod upright.

Since our given graph is upright, so we will have a negative sign between 'a'.

Therefore, the equation $r=2-2\cdot \text{sin}(\theta)$ represents the given graph and option 'd' is the correct choice.
