Homework Statement
I want to know if I did these right.
Write a polar equation of a conic with the focus at the origin and the given data.
Homework Equations
r = (ed) /(1+- cos(theta)) and r = r = (ed) /(1+- sin(theta))
The Attempt at a Solution
Parabola , directrix x = -3 I came up with r = -3/ (1 -cos(θ))
Hyperbola, eccentricity 3, directrix x = 3
I got 9/(1+3cos(θ))
What do you think OK?
