In Exercises 13–34, test for symmetry and then graph each polar equation. r = 4 sin 3θ

Recall the three common symmetry tests for polar equations: 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 \( r = 4 \sin 3\theta \), substitute \( -\theta \) to get \( r = 4 \sin(-3\theta) \).
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 \( r = 4 \sin 3\theta \) to get \( r = 4 \sin 3(\pi - \theta) \).
To test symmetry about the pole, replace \( r \) with \( -r \) and \( \theta \) with \( \theta + \pi \) and check if the equation remains unchanged. Substitute these into the equation to get \( -r = 4 \sin 3(\theta + \pi) \).
After determining the symmetries, sketch the graph by plotting points for values of \( \theta \) from 0 to \( 2\pi \), using the equation \( r = 4 \sin 3\theta \). Note that the factor 3 inside the sine function indicates the graph will have multiple petals (specifically, 3 petals if \( n \) is odd in \( r = a \sin n\theta \)).

Polar Coordinates and Equations

Polar coordinates represent points using a radius and an angle (r, θ) instead of Cartesian coordinates. Understanding how to interpret and plot equations like r = 4 sin 3θ is essential for graphing curves in the polar plane.

Symmetry Tests in Polar Graphs

Testing symmetry in polar graphs involves checking if the graph is symmetric about the polar axis, the line θ = π/2, or the pole. This is done by substituting θ with -θ, π - θ, or replacing r with -r, helping to simplify graphing and understand the curve's shape.

Graphing Rose Curves

Equations of the form r = a sin(nθ) or r = a cos(nθ) produce rose curves with petals. The number of petals depends on n: if n is odd, the curve has n petals; if even, it has 2n petals. Recognizing this helps in sketching the graph of r = 4 sin 3θ accurately.
