Option a. The equation that is used to show the graph of the limacon is given as r = 1 + 3 sin theta.
We have these ppoints [-5,5] by [-5,5]
The limacoin is used to represent a shape that may appear like that of a snail.
This is written in the form of
r = a ± b sin θ
and
r = a ± b cos θ
Given that we have the ± sign, the curve that is at the top of the horizontal; line is the + sign and the one below is the -
If a/b < 1 then a circle is within the circle that was formed as a graph.
Hence from the description that we have given here, the graph has the forms of
r = a + b sin θ
This is the equation that can be used to suit the form r = 1 + 3 sin theta
Hence option a is right.
