QUESTION 1

Consider the cardioid

r  3  3cos
(i) By making use of symmetric properties and considering the standard angles  in the range
of 0,   , plot the graph of this cardioid.
(ii) Produce the second graph of this same cardioid but now by using your knowledge on using
any software.

QUESTION 2

Consider the locus

16 x2  9 y 2  160 x  72 y  400  0

(i) Show that this is an equation of an ellipse by producing an equation of an ellipse in standard
form.
(ii) Determine the centre, the vertices, co-vertices, and the loci.
(iii) Draw the graph of this ellipse.
