Using EXCEL, the formula, and the chart wizard, this formula yields a hyperbola.
\n" ); document.write( "A conic in polar coordinates has the following form:
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+pe%2F%281%2B-+e+sin%28%28theta%29%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "where p is the directix and e is the eccentricity.
\n" ); document.write( "Your equation is
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=+%286%29%2F%282%2B4+sin+%28theta%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"r=+%283%29%2F%281%2B2+sin+%28theta%29%29\" Take 2 out of numerator and denominator.
\n" ); document.write( "\"e=2\" Compare to polar conic form.
\n" ); document.write( "sin(theta) in the denominator denotes a vertical transverse axis.
\n" ); document.write( "e>1 denotes a hyperbola.
\n" ); document.write( "The directrix lies on y=p or y=3/2.
\n" ); document.write( "The conic is a hyperbola with eccentricity, e=2, and directrix of y=p.
