7. Polar Equations States a relationship between all the points (r, θ) that satisfy the equation Exampler = 4 sin θ  Resulting values θ in degrees Note: for (r, θ) It is θ (the 2 nd element that is the independent variable Note: for (r, θ) It is θ (the 2 nd element that is the independent variable

8. Graphing Polar Equations Set Mode on TI calculator  Mode, then Graph => Polar Note difference of Y= screen

9. Graphing Polar Equations Also best to keep angles in radians Enter function in Y= screen

10. Graphing Polar Equations Set Zoom to Standard,  then Square

11. Try These! For r = A cos B θ  Try to determine what affect A and B have r = 3 sin 2θ r = 4 cos 3θ r = 2 + 5 sin 4θ

12. Polar Form Curves Limaçons  r = B ± A cos θ  r = B ± A sin θ

13. Polar Form Curves Cardiods  Limaçons in which a = b  r = a (1 ± cos θ)  r = a (1 ± sin θ)

14. Polar Form Curves Rose Curves  r = a cos (n θ)  r = a sin (n θ)  If n is odd → n petals  If n is even → 2n petals a

15. Polar Form Curves Lemiscates  r 2 = a 2 cos 2θ  r 2 = a 2 sin 2θ

16. Intersection of Polar Curves Use all tools at your disposal  Find simultaneous solutions of given systems of equations Symbolically Use Solve( ) on calculator  Determine whether the pole (the origin) lies on the two graphs  Graph the curves to look for other points of intersection
