Section 8.2 Graphs of Polar Equations
Graphing Polar Equations
The graph of a polar equation r = f(θ), or more generally F (r, θ) = 0, consists of all points P thathave at least one polar representation (r, θ) whose coordinates satisfy the equation.
EXAMPLE: Sketch the polar curve θ = 1.
Solution: This curve consists of all points (r, θ) such that the polar angle θ is 1 radian. It is the straightline that passes through O and makes an angle of 1 radian with the polar axis. Notice that the points(r, 1) on the line with r > 0 are in the first quadrant, whereas those with r < 0 are in the third quadrant.
EXAMPLE: Sketch the following curves:
(a) r = 2, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π.
(b) r = θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 4π.
(c) r = 2 cos θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π.

EXAMPLE: Sketch the curve r = 2, 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π.
Solution 1: Since r = 2, it follows that r2 = 4. But r2 = x2 + y2, therefore x2 + y2 = 4 which is a circle ofradius 2 with the center at the origin.

EXAMPLE: Sketch the curve r = 2 cos θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π.
Solution 1: Since r = 2 cos θ, it follows that r2 = 2r cos θ. But r2 = x2 + y2 and r cos θ = x, thereforex2 + y2 = 2x. This can be rewritten as (x − 1)2 + y2 = 1 which is a circle of radius 1 with the center at(1, 0).
