Use a graphing utility to graph the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve). Eliminate the parameter and write the corresponding rectangular equation. $$ x=4 \sec \theta, \quad y=3 \tan \theta $$
Writing Consider the polar equation \(r=\frac{4}{1+e \sin \theta} .\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation for \(e=0.1\), \(e=0.25, e=0.5, e=0.75,\) and \(e=0.9 .\) Identify the conic and discuss the change in its shape as \(e \rightarrow 1^{-}\) and \(e \rightarrow 0^{+}\) (b) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation for \(e=1\). Identify the conic. (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the equation for \(e=1.1\), \(e=1.5,\) and \(e=2 .\) Identify the conic and discuss the change in its shape as \(e \rightarrow 1^{+}\) and \(e \rightarrow \infty\).
Give the integral formulas for the area of the surface of revolution formed when the graph of \(r=f(\theta)\) is revolved about (a) the \(x\) -axis and (b) the \(y\) -axis.
Graphical Reasoning In Exercises 1-4, use a graphing utility to graph the polar equation when (a) \(e=1,\) (b) \(e=0.5\) and \((\mathrm{c}) e=1.5 .\) Identify the conic. \(r=\frac{2 e}{1+e \sin \theta}\)
Determine any differences between the curves of the parametric equations. Are the graphs the same? Are the orientations the same? Are the curves smooth? (a) \(x=t+1, y=t^{3}\) (b) \(x=-t+1, y=(-t)^{3}\)
