Polar equations for conic sections Graph the following conic sections, labeling vertices, foci, directrices, and asymptotes (if they exist). Give the eccentricity of the curve. Use a graphing utility to check your work.
Step 1 GIven polar equation is: The graph of the given polar equation is: Step 2 Therefore the given polar equation represents an ellipse with major axis as the x-axis, center at
Eccentricity Therefore the given equation represents an ellipse. Now we get, The directrix is
