In Exercises 13–34, test for symmetry and then graph each polar equation. r = 2 + cos θ
검증된 단계별 안내1
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 and check if the equation remains unchanged. For \( r = 2 + \cos \theta \), substitute \( -\theta \) to get \( r = 2 + \cos(-\theta) \). Since \( \cos(-\theta) = \cos \theta \), the equation is unchanged, so the graph is 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 \( \pi - \theta \) into the equation: \( r = 2 + \cos(\pi - \theta) \). Use the identity \( \cos(\pi - \theta) = -\cos \theta \) to rewrite it as \( r = 2 - \cos \theta \). Since this is not the same as the original equation, the graph is not symmetric about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \).
To test symmetry about the pole (origin), replace \( r \) with \( -r \) and \( \theta \) with \( \theta + \pi \), then check if the equation remains unchanged. Substitute to get \( -r = 2 + \cos(\theta + \pi) \). Using \( \cos(\theta + \pi) = -\cos \theta \), this becomes \( -r = 2 - \cos \theta \), or equivalently \( r = -2 + \cos \theta \). Since this differs from the original equation, the graph is not symmetric about the pole.
After determining the symmetries, sketch the graph by plotting points for various values of \( \theta \) between 0 and \( 2\pi \), calculating \( r = 2 + \cos \theta \) for each, and then plotting these points in polar coordinates. Connect the points smoothly to visualize the curve.

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 simplify graphing and understand the curve's shape.
