Conic sections on a Polar Graph

many people wonder what the heck is a conic on a polar? This is putting the redular shapes ofarabola, elipse, and hyperbola on a polar plane. It is simple yet effect but there are a few points that must be figured out first.
These are simple equations that must be memorized in order to graph a conic. Now take these simple equations and lets figure out how to graph it. Alough you still need more information. What? Yah ypu need to know how a graph will look just based off of the equation. It will save time instead of plug and chugging multiple points that takes a ton of time. Now no one has that one their hands so here are a few simple rules. 
That is pretty much all there is. Here is a sample problem worked. Find the eccentricity of the equation and what shape it is?
That is it. Enjoy the fun of a graph.
