Answer:

A. pi/2, 7pi/6, 11pi/6

Step-by-step explanation:

When you graph it on your calculator you can see the points where the three petals hit.

The values of theta for which maximum r-values occur on the graph, for the polar equation r = 4 - 3 sin3 theta is Pi/6, 5pi/6, 3pi/2.

What is the polar coordinate system?

The polar coordinate system is the system in which the evert point on a two-dimensional plane is obtained by the radius from the origin point and angle from the reference direction.

The graph the polar equation given as,

[tex]r = 4 - 3 \sin(3 \theta)[/tex]

The maximum r-value occurs at a point that is the maximum distance from the pole. Differentiate the above equation with respect to the angle theta,

[tex]\dfrac{dr}{d\theta}= 0-9\cos(3 \theta)\\\dfrac{dr}{d\theta}= -9\cos(3 \theta)[/tex]

Equate this equation to the zero, to find the value of theta,

[tex]-9\cos(3 \theta)=0\\\cos(3 \theta)=0\\3\theta=\cos^{-1}0\\3\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}\\\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{6}[/tex]

For sinusoidal function equal to 1, the value of  5π/6 and 9π/6 or 3π/2  is also true.

Thus values of theta for which maximum r-values occur on the graph, for the polar equation r = 4 - 3 sin3 theta is Pi/6, 5pi/6, 3pi/2.
