Outcomes
In this lesson you will learn
- the definition of a polar equation
- to graph polar equations
By the end of this section students will be able to:
- represent complex numbers in a variety of ways
- apply operations on complex numbers both in rectangular and polar form
- construct and examine graphs in the complex and polar planes
- translate between polar and rectangular representation
Prerequisites
To be successful in this lesson, it would be helpful to know the following:
- how to graph points on polar paper
- the period of the cosine function
- the relationship between sine and cosine (the translations of the cosine that will produce the sine graph)
