1
Polar form of Conic Sections
Warm Up: Graph r = -4cosθ, what is the conic section is it? What are the coordinates of its center in both polar & rectangular form?
2
Polar Equations of Conics
The graph of a polar equation of the form is a conic, where e > 0 is the eccentricity and |p| is the distance between the focus (pole) and the directrix. Note: For an ellipse e <1 For a parabola e = 1 For a hyperbola e >1 where e = PF/PQ PF = distance from any point to the focus PQ = distance from the same point to the directrix
