Question

Consider the following three equations:

A) r= 6/(3+2cos(theta)) 

B) r=4/(2-3sin(theta))

C) r=6/(1-sin(theta))

i) for each equation find: the eccentricity, the equation of the directrix and the identify the conic section

 ii) sketch the graph of B) in polar coordinates

 iii) by using the graph obtained in ii) part, convert the B) equation from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates.
