Explanation Results used: Polar equations of conic sections : Let d > 0. The conic section with a focus at the origin, the directrix x = ± d and eccentricity e has the polar equation r = e d 1 + e cos θ or r = e d 1 − e cos θ . It represents the conic section with focus at the origin the directrix y = ± d and eccentricity e has the polar equation r = e d 1 + e sin θ or r = e d 1 − e sin θ . If 0 < e <1, the conic section is an ellipse; if e = 1, it is a parabola; and if e > 1 it is a hyperbola. The curves are defined over any interval in θ of length 2 π . Calculation: The given equation of the curve is r = 4 1 + cos θ . Compare with r = e d 1 + e cos θ and obtain that e d = 4 and e = 1 . Therefore, obtain that d = 4 . As the term cos θ is in the equation the directrix are vertical. Therefore, the directrix is x = 4 . As e = 1 the curve is a parabola. As the directrix is vertical the vertex lies on the line which is parallel to the x -axis. So to calculate the vertex, substitute θ = 0 in r = 4 1 + cos θ
