Since we have a cubic root, we're interested in factoring cubes inside the root, so that we can take them out. If we factor 648, we have
So, we have
And the result simplifies to
Answer:
eccentricity; e = 1/7
k = 12
Conic section; Ellipse
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step would be to write the polar equation of the conic section in standard form by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 1/7;
The polar equation of the conic section is now in standard form;
The eccentricity is given by the coefficient of cos theta in which case this would be the value 1/7. Therefore, the eccentricity of this conic section is 1/7.
The eccentricity is clearly between 0 and 1, implying that the conic section is an Ellipse.
The value in the numerator gives the value of k; k = 12
