Question

graph r=5(1+cos(t))

Answer 1

like this

Answer 2

how do u know

Answer 3

t =0 -> r=10
t=pi/2 -> r=5
t=pi -> r=0
t=-pi/2 ->r=5
t=2pi -> r=10

Answer 4

so just make a table of bvalues ?

Answer 5

how do i recognise what each equation is

Answer 6

Yes, but it's polar coordinates.

Answer 7

r - distance from the center to the point, t - angle

Answer 8

yeah so just make table for every equation.. is there like a general form of certain shapes like in cartesian so i can at least recognise what the equation will look like

Answer 9

Yes, it is. You have to mo detail table and make goog look graph.

Answer 10

what values of t to use in table ?

Answer 11

Use standart \[0, \pi/6, \pi/4, \pi/3, \pi/2,...\]

Answer 12

alright thanks

Answer 13

btw do u have to label the axis ?

Answer 14

Like values t =0, r = 5(1+cos(0))=10

Answer 15

you should first solve
5+5cos(t)=0

then use
t=0 ,pi/2,pi,3pi/2 to plot it.
