In Exercises \(17-20,\) use a graphing utility to graph the polar equation. Identify the graph. \(r=\frac{-1}{1-\cos \theta}\)
In Exercises 43-46, find the area of the surface formed by revolving the curve about the given line. $$ \begin{array}{lll} \underline{\text { Polar Equation }} & \underline{\text { Interval }} & \underline{\text { Axis of Revolution }} \\ r=a \cos \theta & 0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2} & \theta=\frac{\pi}{2} \end{array} $$
Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve), and write the corresponding rectangular equation by eliminating the parameter. $$ x=e^{t}, \quad y=e^{3 t}+1 $$
Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve), and write the corresponding rectangular equation by eliminating the parameter. $$ x=t^{3}, \quad y=\frac{t^{2}}{2} $$
In Exercises 57 and \(58,\) let \(r_{0}\) represent the distance from the focus to the nearest vertex, and let \(r_{1}\) represent the distance from the focus to the farthest vertex. Show that the eccentricity of an ellipse can be written as \(e=\frac{r_{1}-r_{0}}{r_{1}+r_{0}} .\) Then show that \(\frac{r_{1}}{r_{0}}=\frac{1+e}{1-e}\).
