Chapter 6: Problem 79
Use a graphing utility to graph each butterfly curve. Experiment with the range setting, particularly \(\theta\) step, to produce a butterfly of the best possible quality. $$r=\cos ^{2} 5 \theta+\sin 3 \theta+0.3$$

Prove that the projection of \(\mathbf{v}\) onto \(\mathbf{i}\) is \((\mathbf{v} \cdot \mathbf{i}) \mathbf{i}\).
Use a sketch to find the exact value of \(\cos \left(\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}\right)\) (Section 4.7, Example 7)
Determine whether v and w are parallel, orthogonal, or neither. $$\mathbf{v}=3 \mathbf{i}-5 \mathbf{j}, \quad \mathbf{w}=6 \mathbf{i}+10 \mathbf{j}$$
Draw two vectors, \(\mathbf{v}\) and \(\mathbf{w},\) with the same initial point. Show the vector projection of \(\mathbf{v}\) onto \(\mathbf{w}\) in your diagram. Then describe how you identified this vector.
Use the dot product to determine whether v and w are orthogonal. $$\mathbf{v}=5 \mathbf{i}-5 \mathbf{j}, \quad \mathbf{w}=\mathbf{i}-\mathbf{j}$$
