6.5 Graphs of Polar Equations
I. General Form
A.) Graphs of Polar Functions- An infinite collection of rectangular coordinates (x, y) can be represented by an equation in terms of x and/or y.
Collections of polar coordinates can be represented in a similar fashion, where

On your TI-83+, change your MODE to POLAR. Set your window to [0,2π];[-5,5]; [-5,5] and graph

A.) Def. – A ROSE CURVE is any polar equation in
the form of where n is
an integer greater than 1.
III. Rose Curves
sin or cosr a n r a n
If n is odd, there are n petals.
If n is even, there are 2n petals.
B.) For all rose curves . sin & cosr a n r a n
