Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin.
r = 4 - 4 cos θ

Symmetric about the y-axis only

Step-by-step explanation:

Graph the function using a calculator

alternatively,

Sketch the graph via the following steps

-sketch cosθ

- reflect about the x-axis to get (- cosθ)

- multiply vertex values by 4 to get -4cosθ

- shift the graph in the positive y direction by 4 units to get 4 - 4cosθ

you will end up with the attached graph:

By observation, we can see that the graph is

1) NOT symmetric about the x-axis

2) Symmetric about the y-axis

3) Not symmetric bout the origin

to run a symmetry test on a polar, we can simply do a few ( r , θ ) replacements, if the equation resulting from the replacements, resembles the original, then it has that symmetry type, now, let's recall the symmetry trigonometry identity, cos(-θ) = cos(θ).

(0,,,0)

step-by-step explanation:

the table of x and y values is shown in the attached pic(part of question)

we have to decide according that graph

given points are (0, 0) (–1, 0), (2, 0)

when we graph these points on graph they show an increasing line as shown in the attached pic

- (2, -7)

- lines r and s and lines t and u must be parallel
