Section 11.7 – Conics in Polar Coordinates
If e < 1, the conic is an ellipse.If e = 1, the conic is a parabola.If e > 1, the conic is a hyperbola.
The ratio of the distance from a fixed point (focus) to a point on the conic to the distance from the point to the directrix is the eccentricity of a conic. It is a constant ratio and is denoted by e.

The vertical directrix is represented by k.
The horizontal directrix is represented by k.
To use these polar equations, a focus is located at the origin.
Section 11.7 – Conics in Polar CoordinatesGiven the eccentricity and the directrix corresponding to the focus at the origin, find the polar equation.
