To graph: The polar equation.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The polar equation is,
Graph:
The polar equation is,
Check the symmetry about the polar axis.
For this let us replace
We know that cosine function is evan.
Therefore,
This shows that the function is symmetry about the polar axis.
Now we will check for the symmetry about the origin.
For this let us replace
Therefore, the test is fails.
Therefore, the function may not symmetry about the origin.
Now check for the symmetry about the line
Replace
Therefore,
Therefore, the test is fails.
Therefore, the polar equation is symmetric about the line
The graph for the function is,
Interpretation: Graph for the function shows in figure.
