Find the maximum value of the y-coordinate of the points on the limacon r=1+2cos(theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Might try converting to rectangular coordinates, then find dy/dx.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i'll give it a shot. this one has got me stumped.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: solving for y will give you two functions; take the positive one since you're looking for a maximum.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, actually, might be better off using implicit differentiation than solving for y - might save a couple steps.

ok will do. thanks for the help
