In Exercises \(17-20,\) use a graphing utility to graph the polar equation. Identify the graph. \(r=\frac{2}{2+3 \sin \theta}\)
Use a graphing utility to graph the polar equation over the given interval. Use the integration capabilities of the graphing utility to approximate the length of the curve accurate to two decimal places. $$ r=2 \sin (2 \cos \theta), \quad 0 \leq \theta \leq \pi $$
Sketch the curve represented by the parametric equations (indicate the orientation of the curve), and write the corresponding rectangular equation by eliminating the parameter. $$ x=\tan ^{2} \theta, \quad y=\sec ^{2} \theta $$
In Exercises \(27-38,\) find a polar equation for the conic with its focus at the pole. (For convenience, the equation for the directrix is given in rectangular form.) \(\frac{\text { Conic }}{\text { Hyperbola }} \quad \frac{\text { Eccentricity }}{e=\frac{3}{2}} \quad \frac{\text { Directrix }}{x=-1}\)
In Exercises \(7-16,\) find the eccentricity and the distance from the pole to the directrix of the conic. Then sketch and identify the graph. Use a graphing utility to confirm your results. \(r=\frac{-6}{3+7 \sin \theta}\)
