Introduction

As mentioned before, a polar graphing system is used in situations that require complex graphing. This will be an introduction to some of the simpler graphs in the polar plane.

""""

We'll begin our look at polar graphing by using a Geogebra activity to make some of these graphs. Go to Geogebra: Graphing in Polar Coordinates. Complete the activity.

At the end of this lesson, student will be able to:

  • Construct graphs of simple polar equations on the polar coordinate plane.
