question 139

Multiple Choice

The eccentricity is given of a conic section with one focus at the origin, along with the directrix corresponding to that focus. Find a polar equation for the conic section.

• A) \(r = \frac { 10 } { 1 + 5 \cos \theta }\)
• B) \(r = \frac { 10 } { 5 - \sin \theta }\)
• C) \(\mathrm { r } = \frac { 10 } { 5 - \cos \theta }\)
• D) \(r = \frac { 10 } { 5 + \sin \theta }\)
