![Check Mark](/static/check-mark.png)
Answer to Problem 54RE
The conic is parabola focus at pole.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Concept used:
For a conic with eccentricity e
If
If
If
For a conic with focus at origin and Directrix is
Then Polar equation of the conic is
For a conic with focus at origin and Directrix is
Then Polar equation of the conic is
Calculation:
Comparing this with polar equation:
Here
So, the conic is parabola focus at pole.
The directrix is parallel to polar axis at a distance 6 units above of the pole
Vertex of the parabola is
The graph of the polar equation
Hence, the conic is parabola focus at pole.
