There are four cases to becarefully considered, b <a,b = a, a<b <2a,b = 2a. For each case draw two concentric circles of radii a and b and with thecenter at the pole, and thus get a simple geometric construction of thecurve. Show that the chord through the pole is of constant length. Find thepoints of contact of the double tangents when they exist. ii 2m 11. p = 1 — cos e 12. p = a sinf 0. The curve has eight double points and the pole is a multiple point. 13. p — a sin 10. The curve has six double points and the pole is a multiple 99 CURVES GIVEN BY POLAR EQUATIONS 139
