\bigskip

In the Maple worksheet, \emph{conics.mw} (or Mathematica worksheet, \emph{conics.nb}), you will examine a three parameter family of curves described by the polar equation

$$r(\phi)={\alpha\over 1+\epsilon \cos(\phi+\delta)}.$$



Describe in detail how the shape of the plot depends on the parameters
$\alpha$, $\epsilon$, and $\delta$.
