(a) Sketch the curve.

(b) Compute  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y'=\frac{dy}{dx}} .

(c) Compute  $y''={\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}$.

Background Information:
How do you calculate  $y'$  for a polar curve  $r=f(\theta )?$
Since  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x=r\cos(\theta)}   and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y=r\sin(\theta),}   we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y'=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\big(\frac{dr}{d\theta}\big)\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{\big(\frac{dr}{d\theta}\big)\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}.}

Solution:

(a)
400px

(b)

Step 1:
First, recall we have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y'=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\big(\frac{dr}{d\theta}\big)\sin\theta+r\cos\theta}{\big(\frac{dr}{d\theta}\big)\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}.}
Since  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle r=1+\sin\theta,}
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{dr}{d\theta}=\cos\theta.}
Hence,
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle y'=\frac{\cos\theta\sin\theta+(1+\sin\theta)\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-(1+\sin\theta)\sin\theta}.}

Step 2:

Thus, we have        Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{y'} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{2\cos\theta\sin\theta+\cos\theta}{\cos^2\theta-\sin^2\theta-\sin\theta}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{\sin(2\theta)+\cos\theta}{\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta}.}\\ \end{array}}

(c)

Step 1:
We have  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{\big(\frac{dy'}{d\theta}\big)}{\big(\frac{dr}{d\theta}\big)\cos\theta-r\sin\theta}.}
So, first we need to find  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{dy'}{d\theta}.}
We have
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{array}{rcl} \displaystyle{\frac{dy'}{d\theta}} & = & \displaystyle{\frac{d}{d\theta}\bigg(\frac{\sin(2\theta)+\cos\theta}{\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta}\bigg)}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{(\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)(2\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)-(\sin(2\theta)+\cos\theta)(-2\sin(2\theta)-\cos\theta)}{(\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)^2}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{2\cos^2(2\theta)+2\sin^2(2\theta)-3\sin\theta\cos(2\theta)+3\sin(2\theta)\cos\theta+\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta}{(\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)^2}}\\ &&\\ & = & \displaystyle{\frac{3-3\sin\theta\cos(2\theta)+3\sin(2\theta)\cos\theta}{(\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)^2}}\\ \end{array}}
since  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1}   and  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle 2\cos^2(2\theta)+2\sin^2(2\theta)=2.}

Step 2:
Now, using the resulting formula for  Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{dy'}{d\theta},}   we get
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{3-3\sin\theta\cos(2\theta)+3\sin(2\theta)\cos\theta}{(\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)^3}.}

Final Answer:
(a)     See above.
(b)     Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{\sin(2\theta)+\cos\theta}{\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta}}
(c)     Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \frac{3-3\sin\theta\cos(2\theta)+3\sin(2\theta)\cos\theta}{(\cos(2\theta)-\sin\theta)^3}}
