or xy-coordinates. Polar coordinates use a graphing system based on circles, and we specify positions using the radius and angle of a point on a circle centered at the origin. We must also know how to convert from rectangular to polar coordinates and from polar...
Just another example of taking a polar equation and putting it in cartesian form so that we can graph it more easily. Graphing Special Polar Equations, Ex 2. Many polar graphs have 'petals'. How many petals will a graph have? This problem addresses that question. Polar Coordinates - Basic ...
