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 \(e \rightarrow \infty\).
Write the equation for the ellipse rotated \(\pi / 4\) radian clockwise from the ellipse \(r=\frac{5}{5+3 \cos \theta}\).
Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve), and write the corresponding rectangular equation by eliminating the parameter. $$ x=|t-1|, \quad y=t+2 $$
In Exercises \(17-20,\) use a graphing utility to graph the polar equation. Identify the graph. \(r=\frac{3}{-4+2 \sin \theta}\)
Use a graphing utility to graph the curve represented by the parametric equations. Indicate the direction of the curve. Identify any points at which the curve is not smooth. $$ \text { Cycloid: } x=2(\theta-\sin \theta), \quad y=2(1-\cos \theta) $$
