Consider the polar curves r=2+2sin⁡θr=2+2\sin\theta and r=3r=3 for 0≤θ≤π20\le \theta \le \frac{\pi}{2}. Which statement best describes which curve forms the outer boundary of the region bounded by the two curves on this interval? a) r=3r=3 is the outer curve for every θ\theta\, in the interval. b) r=2+2sin⁡θr=2+2\sin\theta is the outer curve for 0≤θ<π60\le\theta<\frac{\pi}{6}, and r=3r=3 is the outer curve for π6<θ≤π2\frac{\pi}{6}<\theta\le\frac{\pi}{2}. c) r=3r=3 is the outer curve for 0≤θ<π60\le\theta<\frac{\pi}{6}, and r=2+2sin⁡θr=2+2\sin\theta is the outer curve for π6<θ≤π2\frac{\pi}{6}<\theta\le\frac{\pi}{2}. d) r=3r=3 is the outer curve for 0≤θ<π30\le\theta<\frac{\pi}{3}, and r=2+2sin⁡θr=2+2\sin\theta is the outer curve for π3<θ≤π2\frac{\pi}{3}<\theta\le\frac{\pi}{2}.
