How do you graph polar curves to see the points of intersection of the curves?
1 Answer
If the polar equations are
Explanation:
Explication:
Find the points of intersection of the cardioid
Eliminate r.
The equation for
(3pi)/2#.
The common points are
For the graph, a = 1. Use
graph{(x^2+y^2-(x^2+y^2)^0.5-x)(x^2+y^2-1)=0[-2 4 -1.5 1.5]}
The two parabolas
intersect at
graph{(x+(x^2+y^2)^0.5-1)(-x+(x^2+y^2)^0.5-1)=0[-3 3 -1.5 1.5]}
