No graphing calculators. Present neatly and show work for full credit.

Problem 1

Find the points on the given curve where the tangent line is horizontal or vertical

r = eθ
dy dy
(eθ sin θ ) ' eθ sin θ + eθ cosθ eθ (sin θ + cosθ )
= dθ
= = =
dx dx
dθ (eθ cos θ ) ' eθ cos θ − eθ sin θ eθ (cos θ − sin θ )
Horizontal : sin θ + cosθ = 0 ⇒ θ = −4π , 34π etc
Vertical : cos θ − sin θ = 0 ⇒ θ = π4 , 54π , etc.

Problem 2

Find the points on the given curve where the tangent line is horizontal or vertical
r = 1 − sin θ
dy ((1 − sin θ )sin θ ) ' cos θ − 2sin θ cos θ cos θ − sin 2θ
= = =
dx ((1 − sin θ ) cos θ ) ' − sin θ − 12 (sin 2θ ) ' − sin θ − cos 2θ
Horizontal : cos θ − sin 2θ = 0 ⇒ cos θ − 2sin θ cos θ = 0 ⇒ θ = π6 , π2 , etc.
Vertical : − sin θ − cos 2θ = − sin θ − (1 − 2sin 2 θ ) = 2u 2 − u − 1 = 0
1± 3 −π 7π π
u= = 1 or −1
2 ⇒θ = , ,..., ,...
