Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin.r = 4 - 3 sin θ Origin onlyx-axis onlyy-axis onlyNo symmetry
Accepted Solution
A:
By graphing the given equation
r = 4 - 3 sin θ
We find that the graph is symmetric about the y-axis The graph of the given equation is attached below ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Some information about the given equation: the given equation is like the form of the Cardioid
A curve that is somewhat heart shaped. A cardioid can
be drawn by tracing the path of a point on
a circle as the circle
rolls around a fixed circle of the
same radius.
The equation is usually written in polar
coordinates. Equations of Cardioid: r = a ± a cos θ (horizontal)
or r = a ± a sin θ (vertical)
