Identifying a conic given the polar form
For each of the following equations, identify the conic with focus at the origin, the
directrix , and the
eccentricity .
For each of the three conics, we will rewrite the equation in standard form. Standard form has a 1 as the constant in the denominator. Therefore, in all three parts, the first step will be to multiply the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of the constant of the original equation,
where
is that constant.
Multiply the numerator and denominator by
Because
is in the denominator, the directrix is
Comparing to standard form, note that
Therefore, from the numerator,
Since
the conic is an
ellipse . The eccentricity is
and the directrix is
Multiply the numerator and denominator by
Because
is in the denominator, the directrix is
Comparing to standard form,
Therefore, from the numerator,
Since
the conic is a
hyperbola . The eccentricity is
and the directrix is
Multiply the numerator and denominator by
Because sine is in the denominator, the directrix is
Comparing to standard form,
Therefore, from the numerator,
Because
the conic is a
parabola . The eccentricity is
and the directrix is
When graphing in Cartesian coordinates, each conic section has a unique equation. This is not the case when graphing in polar coordinates. We must use the eccentricity of a conic section to determine which type of curve to graph, and then determine its specific characteristics. The first step is to rewrite the conic in standard form as we have done in the previous example. In other words, we need to rewrite the equation so that the denominator begins with 1. This enables us to determine
and, therefore, the shape of the curve. The next step is to substitute values for
and solve for
to plot a few key points. Setting
equal to
and
provides the vertices so we can create a rough sketch of the graph.
Graphing a parabola in polar form
Graph
First, we rewrite the conic in standard form by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the reciprocal of 3, which is
Because
we will graph a
parabola with a focus at the origin. The function has a
and there is an addition sign in the denominator, so the directrix is
The directrix is
Plotting a few key points as in

Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
