Then r = ± (r)2 + r cos(θ). If we have that r = (r)2+r cos(θ), we are done. What if r = − (r)2 + r cos(θ) = −(r)2−r cos(θ)? We claim that the co...

Our first task is to formalize the notion of rotating axes so this subsection is actually a follow-up to Example 8.3.3 in Section 8.3. In that example, we saw that the graph of y = 2 x is actually a hyperbola. More specifically, it is th...
