a.
To show: that the conic is ellipse.
a.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The polar equation is
Proof: since, the polar equation in standard form is
Form the polar equation it can be observed that,
Since,
Thus, the conic is ellipse.
Now, by using plotting point method,
Now, using the above table and join the points,
The graph can be obtained as:
b.
To draw: the ellipse with its directrix and vertex.
b.
