A trochoid is the path followed by a point \(b\) units from the center of a
wheel of radius \(a\) as the wheel rolls along the \(x\) -axis. Its parametric
description is \(x=a t-b \sin t, y=a-b \cos t .\) Choose specific values of \(a\)
and \(b,\) and use a graphing utility to plot different trochoids. In
particular, explore the difference between the cases \(a>b\) and \(a
Eliminate the parameter to express the following parametric equations as a single equation in \(x\) and \(y.\) \(x=a \sin ^{n} t, y=b \cos ^{n} t,\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are real numbers and \(n\) is a positive integer
Consider the region \(R\) bounded by the right branch of the hyperbola \(x^{2} / a^{2}-y^{2} / b^{2}=1\) and the vertical line through the right focus. a. What is the volume of the solid that is generated when \(R\) is revolved about the \(x\) -axis? b. What is the volume of the solid that is generated when \(R\) is revolved about the \(y\) -axis?
Consider the family of limaçons \(r=1+b \cos \theta .\) Describe how the curves change as \(b \rightarrow \infty\).
A focal chord of a conic section is a line through a focus joining two points of the curve. The latus rectum is the focal chord perpendicular to the major axis of the conic. Prove the following properties. The length of the latus rectum of a hyperbola centered at the origin is \(2 b^{2} / a=2 b \sqrt{e^{2}-1}\)
