Find the polar equation of the conic with the focus at the pole, directrix x = 4, and eccentricity 1.

Mathematics

Answer:

Choice D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The eccentricity of the conic section is 1, implying we are looking at a parabola. Parabolas are the only conic sections with an eccentricity of 1.

Next, the directrix of this parabola is located at x = 4. This implies that the parabola opens towards the left and thus the denominator of its polar equation contains a positive cosine function.

Finally, the value of k in the numerator is simply the product of the eccentricity and the absolute value of the directrix;

k = 1*4 = 4

This polar equation is given by alternative D

For a finite sequence of nonzero numbers, the number of variations in sign is defined as the number of pairs of consecutive term
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The no. of variations in sign is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Variation in sign occurs when every single time a negative product is produced by a pair of consecutive terms.

Therefore, the determination of the number of changes in sign in the given sequence is must.

Therefore, we take the product of the pair of consecutive terms as:

1\times (-3) = - 3, variation in sign

(-3)\times 2 = - 6,  variation in sign

2\times 5 = 10,  no sign variation

5\times (- 4) = - 20,  variation in sign

- 4\times (-6) = 24, no sign variation

Write area f a circle as a function of circumfrence
Y_Kistochka [10]

circumference = 2\pi  \times r
area = \pi {r}^{2}
we want area =circumference*something
dividing our first equation by 2*pi
\frac{circumference}{2\pi}  = r
substituting in the second equation
area = \pi { (\frac{circumference}{2\pi}) }^{2}
simplifying
area = \pi(\frac{ {circumference}^{2} }{4 {\pi}^{2} } )
area =  \frac{{circumference} ^{2} }{4\pi}
