Graph the following conic sections, labeling the vertices, foci, directrices, and asymptotes (if they exist). Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$r=\frac{4}{1+\cos \theta}$$
Sketch the graph of the following ellipses. Plot and label the coordinates of the vertices and foci, and find the lengths of the major and minor axes. Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$12 x^{2}+5 y^{2}=60$$
Use a graphing utility to graph the hyperbolas \(r=\frac{e}{1+e \cos \theta},\) for \(e=1.1,1.3,1.5,1.7\) and 2 on the same set of axes. Explain how the shapes of the curves vary as \(e\) changes.
Sketch the graph of the following parabolas. Specify the location of the focus and the equation of the directrix. Use a graphing utility to check your work. $$x=-y^{2} / 16$$
A simplified model assumes that the orbits of Earth and Mars are circular with radii of 2 and \(3,\) respectively, and that Earth completes one orbit in one year while Mars takes two years. The position of Mars as seen from Earth is given by the parametric equations $$x=(3-4 \cos \pi t) \cos \pi t+2, \quad y=(3-4 \cos \pi t) \sin \pi t$$ a. Graph the parametric equations, for \(0 \leq t \leq 2\) b. Letting \(r=(3-4 \cos \pi t),\) explain why the path of Mars as seen from Earth is a limaçon.
