- Liam is designing a roller coaster that follows a polar curve. The track's path is given by r(θ) = 4cos(3θ) where r is in meters. He needs to install safety barriers at all points where the track is exactly 2 meters from the center pole. Determine all angles θ in the interval [0, 2π) where this occurs.
