Graphing Polar Equations | Calculus 2 Lesson 47 - JK Math

How to Graph Polar Equations (Calculus 2 Lesson 47)
In this video we learn how to graph polar equations. This includes polar equations that represent basic polar graphs such as lines and circles, as well as more complex and special polar graphs such as limacons with an inner loop, cardioids, limacons with a dimple, convex limacons, rose curves, and lemniscates. We look at a method that will allow us to graph any polar equation by plotting points and making use of symmetry, and then we look at rules to help us quickly sketch special polar graphs by recognizing the form of a polar equation.

    ︎►►📝Download my free blank polar coordinate systems to help you practice graphing: www.jkmathematics.com/blank-polar-coordinates-worksheet Also, MINOR CORRECTION: At 16:17 when I give the subtraction identity for cosine, I made a slight error. It should be cosAcosB + sinAsinB. I wrote a minus sign in between the terms by accident and did not catch it in the editing process since the final answer was not effected by the mistake (adding/subtracting 0 produces the same result!). I got lucky, but that will not always be the case when checking symmetry! Be sure to remember that it is (+) not (-). My apologies on that mistake!

    Great video, polar was included in the new AP Precalculus and I needed a good refresh to be ready to teach students when I haven't done anything with polar in decades and your videos were clear and helpful. And y If you ever get to a precalculus series I will include you on my recommended resource list for students.

    How do you know to where do the cardioid/limacons’ points extend for the other angles? Like how do I know if it crosses or not trogh pi/4 for example, after sketching the graph with the quick method?

  • @JKMath

    @JKMath

    For the quick method, we really only look at where the graph would cross the vertical and polar axis. If you start looking at other angles, then it really isn't so "quick" anymore. You would be better off using the plotting points and symmetry method if you want to be that accurate. That being said, typically, you want to know the general shape of the different polar graphs, and that should help you draw them quickly in conjunction with the points on the polar and vertical axis for the quick method. If you really wanted to, you could plug in the angle, such as π/4, into the polar equation you are working with, and see what value of r is outputted, and then use that to help you determine where the graph crosses that angle in the coordinate system. But once again, at that point you might as well just plot points and use symmetry. The way I see it, the quick method is really just for sketching the curves super fast, which helps later on in Calc 2 such as when you need to draw a picture to help you figure out how to set up integrals to calculate area between polar curves. If you need to be more accurate with the graph, you want to plot points and use symmetry instead. Hope this helps!

    How do we know what thetha we will plug in the equation?

  • @JKMath

    @JKMath

    Ай бұрын

    For the plotting points and using symmetry method, you can pick whatever angles of theta you want to create some points. It is totally up to you. Now, you probably want to pick angles that are nice to evaluate for the given equation, so I recommend sticking with the most common angles of 0, π/3, π/4, π/6, π/2, π, 2π, etc. Those are usually the easiest to work with. Sometimes you can pick a weird angle like π/8 if that makes it easier to plug in, such as for the function r=cos(2θ). Because θ is multiplied by 2, using π/8 becomes convenient since 2 times π/8 is π/4, which is a nice angle to evaluate cosine at. Does that make sense? In general, just pick the most convenient angles. Hope this helps!
