Select the Polar Equation of the Conic for E = $r = \frac { 2 e } { 1 - e \sin \theta }$

question 501

Multiple Choice

Select the polar equation of the conic for e = 1.0 and identify the conic for the following equation. $r = \frac { 2 e } { 1 - e \sin \theta }$

• A) \(r = \frac { 2 } { 1 - \sin \theta } \Rightarrow \text { parabola }\)
• B) \(r = \frac { 1 } { 1 + \sin \theta } \Rightarrow \text { hyperbola }\)
• C) \(r = \frac { 2 } { 1 - 2 \sin \theta } \Rightarrow \text { hyperbola }\)
• D) \(r = \frac { 2 } { 1 + \sin \theta } \Rightarrow \text { parabola }\)
• E) \(r = \frac { 2 } { 1 + \sin \theta } \Rightarrow \text { hyperbola }\)
