Math Problem Statement

graph the polar function on the given interval. r

2 + s i n θ , [ 0 , 2 π ]

Solution

Here's the graph of the polar function r=2+sin(θ)r = 2 + \sin(\theta) over the interval [0,2π][0, 2\pi]. The plot shows how the radius rr changes with respect to the angle θ\theta in polar coordinates.

Would you like a detailed explanation of the graph or further assistance?

Here are five related questions to explore:

  1. How would the graph change if the function was r=2sin(θ)r = 2 - \sin(\theta)?
  2. What happens if we add a constant multiplier to sin(θ)\sin(\theta), such as r=2+2sin(θ)r = 2 + 2\sin(\theta)?
  3. How do you find the points of symmetry in polar graphs?
  4. What is the area enclosed by the polar curve r=2+sin(θ)r = 2 + \sin(\theta)?
  5. How do you convert this polar equation into Cartesian coordinates?

Tip: When analyzing polar graphs, always consider how the radius rr behaves at specific angles like 00, π2\frac{\pi}{2}, π\pi, and 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}.
