A Limaçon is a type of polar curve defined by the equation \( r = a + b \cos(\theta) \) or \( r = a + b \sin(\theta) \), where \( a \) and \( b \) are constants. The shape of the Limaçon depends on the relationship between the values of \( a \) and \( b \): - If \( a > b \), the Limaçon has a dimple but does not loop.
