Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises
1. If eccentricity is less than 1, it is an ellipse. If eccentricity is equal to 1, it is a parabola. If eccentricity is greater than 1, it is a hyperbola. 3. The directrix will be parallel to the polar axis. 5. One of the foci will be located at the origin. 7. Parabola with [latex]e=1[/latex] and directrix [latex]\frac{3}{4}[/latex] units below the pole. 9. Hyperbola with [latex]e=2[/latex] and directrix [latex]\frac{5}{2}[/latex] units above the pole. 11. Parabola with [latex]e=1[/latex] and directrix [latex]\frac{3}{10}[/latex] units to the right of the pole. 13.
