March 4 Notes: Cardioids and Limaçons


Today in class we learned about the polar graphs of Cardioids and Limaçons.

  1. We learned the equation of a cardioid is r=a(+/-)a(cos/sin)theta. We also learned the equation of a limaçon is r=a(+/-)b(cos/sin)theta. Examples of the polar graphs of each are in the picture. We also learned that when graphing the two, you want to find r when theta=0, (pie/2),pie, and (3pie/2).
