Find the polar equation of the conic with the focus at the pole, directrix x = 4, and eccentricity 1.
(picture provided)

Choice D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The eccentricity of the conic section is 1, implying we are looking at a parabola. Parabolas are the only conic sections with an eccentricity of 1.

Next, the directrix of this parabola is located at x = 4. This implies that the parabola opens towards the left and thus the denominator of its polar equation contains a positive cosine function.

Finally, the value of k in the numerator is simply the product of the eccentricity and the absolute value of the directrix;

k = 1*4 = 4

This polar equation is given by alternative D

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
