Polar Curves
Exercises for students:
Sketch the following curves on paper for 0 <= t < 2pi and check your graphs using the above applet:
| r = 2 |
r = cos(t) |
r = sin(t) |
r = 1 + sin(t) |
| r = 2 + sin(t) |
r = sin(2t) |
r = sin(3t) |
r = sin(4t) |
| r = cos(2t) |
r = 1 + cos(2t)) |
r = 2 + cos(2t) |
r = sqrt(sin(t)) |
| r = sqrt(sin(2t)) |
r = 1/sin(t) |
r = t |
r = exp(t) |
You can define the equation using the following operators:
| + | - | * | / | ^ |
| sqrt( ) | ln( ) | exp( ) | pi |
| sin( ) | cos( ) | tan( ) |
| asin( ) | acos( ) | atan( ) |
| sinh( ) | cosh( ) | tanh( ) |
