In Exercises 13–34, test for symmetry and then graph each polar equation. r = 2 − 3 sin θ

Recall that to test for symmetry in polar equations, we check three types of symmetry: symmetry about the polar axis (the horizontal axis), symmetry about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \) (the vertical axis), and symmetry about the pole (the origin).
To test symmetry about the polar axis, replace \( \theta \) with \( -\theta \) in the equation and see if the equation remains unchanged. For the given equation \( r = 2 - 3 \sin \theta \), substitute \( \theta \) with \( -\theta \) to get \( r = 2 - 3 \sin(-\theta) \).
Recall that \( \sin(-\theta) = -\sin \theta \), so the equation becomes \( r = 2 + 3 \sin \theta \). Since this is not the same as the original equation, the graph is not symmetric about the polar axis.
To test symmetry about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \), replace \( \theta \) with \( \pi - \theta \) and check if the equation remains unchanged. Substitute \( \theta \) with \( \pi - \theta \) in the original equation: \( r = 2 - 3 \sin(\pi - \theta) \).
Use the identity \( \sin(\pi - \theta) = \sin \theta \), so the equation becomes \( r = 2 - 3 \sin \theta \), which is the same as the original. Therefore, the graph is symmetric about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \).

Polar Coordinates and Equations

Polar coordinates represent points using a radius r and an angle θ from the positive x-axis. Polar equations express r as a function of θ, describing curves in the plane. Understanding how to interpret and plot these equations is essential for graphing polar curves.

Symmetry Tests in Polar Graphs

Symmetry in polar graphs can be tested about the polar axis, the line θ = π/2, and the pole (origin). These tests involve substituting θ with -θ, π - θ, or replacing r with -r to check if the equation remains unchanged, helping to identify symmetrical properties of the curve.

Graphing Polar Equations Involving Sine

Polar equations with sine functions, like r = 2 − 3 sin θ, often produce limaçon or cardioid shapes. Recognizing the role of sine in shifting and shaping the curve aids in sketching the graph accurately by evaluating r at key angles and understanding the curve's behavior.
