metric functions introduces nodifficulties. For example: To construct the locus ofr = 4(1 — cos 6). Give d a series of values, and com-puting r for each, as follows: If 6 = o, r = o since cos 0=1. r = 4 (1 — .996) = .016.r = 4 (1 - .98) = .08.r= 4 (1 - .97) = .12. If 0 = 5°, If (9 = ro° If 0 = i5°,… … Fig. 9. Completing the table to 6curve as in Fig. 9. 3600 and plotting we get a TRANSCENDENTAL LOCI. Art. 17. Certain curves have what are known as trans-cendental equations, that is, equations which cannot besolved alone by the algebraic processes of addition, sub-traction, multiplication, and…
