Polar Equations

By: Elizabeth Gore

Let's explore the characteristics with this particular plar equation

In the graph below we are looking at the form of this equation when

We get

Pretty interesting graph, huh?

The graphs of these particular polar equations are called rose graphs.

If we were to descibe this graph verbally, we would say that it is a

"One-leaf rose".

These graphs can become complicated though, so lets take a look at a few different cases of the rose graphs.
