How do you graph #r=(23)/(7-5sin theta)#?
1 Answer
See Socratic graph and explanation.
Explanation:
Use
with a focus at the pole (0, 0) and major axis along
The semi major axis
This can be reorganized to the form
ellipse with a focus S(0, 0). e = 5/7,
161/24 = 6.71, nearly, and .
semi minor axis
A short Table for tracing the ellipse.
See a Socratic graph. Note that the major axis ( length 13.42 ) is
along y-axis.
