Polar Graph Type D936Eb
1. **Problem:** Identify the type of graph for the polar equation $$r^2 = 9 \cos 2\theta$$.
2. **Formula and rules:**
- Polar equations of the form $$r^2 = a^2 \cos 2\theta$$ or $$r^2 = a^2 \sin 2\theta$$ represent **lemniscates**.
- Lemniscates look like figure-eight or infinity symbols.
3. **Work:**
- Here, $$r^2 = 9 \cos 2\theta$$ matches the lemniscate form with $$a^2 = 9$$, so $$a = 3$$.
4. **Explanation:**
- Since the equation is $$r^2 = 9 \cos 2\theta$$, it is a lemniscate centered at the pole with petals along the axes.
**Final answer:** The graph of $$r^2 = 9 \cos 2\theta$$ is a **lemniscate**.
