Question
Show that the curve r sin tan (called a cissoid of Diocles) has the line x 1 as a vertical asymptote. Show also that the curve lies entirely within the vertical strip 0 < x , 1. Use these facts to help sketch the cissoid.
Solution
The first step in solving 10.3 problem number 51 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Show that the curve r sin tan (called a cissoid of Diocles) has the line x 1 as a vertical asymptote. Show also that the curve lies entirely within the vertical strip 0 < x , 1. Use these facts to help sketch the cissoid.
From the textbook chapter Polar Coordinates you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
