What interval would you graph each function to create the region described?
Use your graphing calculator in function mode as your only tool to help you!
1. r 1 sin( )
2. r 2cos(3 )
3. r 1 2cos( )
4. outside the circle r 3 and inside the cardioid r 2 2cos( )
6. How many points of intersection does it appear the graphs of r 1.5 sin( ) and r 1 2.5cos(2 ) have? Use
your graphing calculator in function mode to verify your answer. What are the values of where they intersect?
7. How many points of intersection does it appear the graphs of r 2 and r 3 cos(2 ) have? Use your graphing
calculator in function mode to verify your answer. What are the values of where they intersect?
8. What are the points of intersection for the curves r 1 sin(3 2.14) and r 2 sin( )
9. What are the points of intersection for the curves r 3cos(3 4.12) and r 1 cos( )
10. The graphs of the polar equations r 1 sin( ) and r 3 sin( ) intersect at which values of ? **use your
calculator in function mode! !**
11. Create your own! Create two crazy graphs in polar on your calculator. Find the intersection points. Be sure to
show both the polar graph and the function mode graph. Are all places where your two polar graphs cross true
intersection points?
Examples:
How many points of intersection does it appear the graphs of r 3sin( ) 1 and r 2 2cos(2 ) have? Use your
graphing calculator in function mode to verify your answer. What are the values of where they intersect?
How many points of intersection does it appear the graphs of r ln( ) and r 3 sin(2 )ln( ) have? Use your
graphing calculator in function mode to verify your answer. What are the values of where they intersect?
