Outcomes

In this lesson you will learn

• the effect different domain values has on the graphs of polar curves
• the effect of positive and negative coefficients for has on the graphs of polar curves
• the effect of different steps on the graphs of polar curves
• the effect adding a constant to a polar equation has on the graphs
• the effect of graphing polar curves in degree mode vs. radian mode

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:

• domain
• radian measure
• how to graph polar equations using the graphing calculator
