Question
The number of loeps of $r=\alpha$ yin 20 are $\ldots \ldots . . .$ and these of $r=a \cos 3 \theta$ are ..........
Step 1
This equation represents a circle with radius $\alpha$ centered at the origin. Since there is only one circle, there is only one loop for this equation. Now, let's consider the equation $r = a \cos 3\theta$. This equation represents a polar rose with 3 petals if Show more…
