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
