In Exercises 13–34, test for symmetry and then graph each polar equation. r = 1 + 2 cos θ

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Recall the three common tests for symmetry in polar coordinates: symmetry about the polar axis (x-axis), symmetry about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \) (y-axis), and symmetry about the pole (origin).
To test symmetry about the polar axis, replace \( \theta \) with \( -\theta \) in the equation \( r = 1 + 2 \cos \theta \) and check if the equation remains unchanged.
To test symmetry about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \), replace \( \theta \) with \( \pi - \theta \) and check if the equation remains unchanged.
To test symmetry about the pole, replace \( r \) with \( -r \) and \( \theta \) with \( \theta + \pi \) and check if the equation remains unchanged.
After determining the symmetries, plot points for various values of \( \theta \) (for example, \( 0, \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \pi \), etc.) by calculating \( r \) and then sketch the graph accordingly.

Polar Coordinates and Equations

Polar coordinates represent points using a radius and an angle (r, θ) instead of Cartesian (x, y). Understanding how to interpret and plot polar equations like r = 1 + 2 cos θ is essential for graphing curves in the polar plane.

Symmetry Tests in Polar Graphs

Testing symmetry in polar graphs involves checking if the equation remains unchanged under transformations: θ → -θ (symmetry about the polar axis), θ → π - θ (symmetry about the line θ = π/2), and r → -r with θ → θ + π (symmetry about the pole). This helps simplify graphing by identifying mirrored parts.

Graphing Polar Equations Involving Cosine

Polar equations with cosine terms, such as r = 1 + 2 cos θ, often produce limaçon shapes. Recognizing how the cosine function affects the radius for different angles allows for accurate plotting and understanding of the curve's features like loops or dimpled shapes.
