Converting a Polar Equation to Rectangular Form In Exercises \(117-126,\) convert the polar equation to rectangular form. Then sketch its graph. $$\theta=\pi / 6$$
In Exercises \(23-48\) , sketch the graph of the polar equation using symmetry, zeros, maximum r-values, and any other additional points. $$r=\frac{6}{2 \sin \theta-3 \cos \theta}$$
Sketch the graph of \(r=6 \cos \theta\) over each interval. Describe the part of the graph obtained in each case. $$(a) 0 \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \quad \text { (b) } \frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \pi$$ $$(\mathrm{c})-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2} \quad \text { (d) } \frac{\pi}{4} \leq \theta \leq \frac{3 \pi}{4}$$
