Consider the polar curve \(r=\cos (n \theta / m)\) where \(n\) and \(m\) are integers. a. Graph the complete curve when \(n=2\) and \(m=3\) b. Graph the complete curve when \(n=3\) and \(m=7\) c. Find a general rule in terms of \(m\) and \(n\) for determining the least positive number \(P\) such that the complete curve is generated over the interval \([0, P]\)
Find an equation of the following hyperbolas, assuming the center is at the origin. Sketch a graph labeling the vertices, foci, and asymptotes. Use a graphing utility to check your work. A hyperbola with vertices (卤2,0) and asymptotes \(y=\pm 3 x / 2\)
Find an equation of the following hyperbolas, assuming the center is at the origin. Sketch a graph labeling the vertices, foci, and asymptotes. Use a graphing utility to check your work. A hyperbola with vertices (卤1,0) that passes through \(\left(\frac{5}{3}, 8\right)\)
The butterfly curve of Example 8 may be enhanced by adding a term: $$r=e^{\sin \theta}-2 \cos 4 \theta+\sin ^{5}(\theta / 12), \quad \text { for } 0 \leq \theta \leq 24 \pi$$ a. Graph the curve. b. Explain why the new term produces the observed effect.
