To determine: The correct answer which represents the slope of the polar curve
Answer to Problem 66E
The correct answer is (D).
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The options:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
(E)
Calculation:
It is known that in a polar
Also, it is known that polar curves lie in the xy -plane, this means the slope of the tangent line is equal to the slope of the polar curve that is,
So,
Hence, the correct answer is (D).
