It was over graphing polar functions by hand and complex roots. I usually get C's and low B's, but I got a 90% on this one.

example of a polar function>polar function
instead of getting a y-value for an input x, you get a radius for an input of an angle, usually denoted with theta. it’s based on trigonometric functions, and it uses a circular coordinate plane instead of a rectangular one like the cartesian plane is
>complex root
square root, cube root, etc of complex numbers and finding all solutions
i dont get it
it’s based on the equation for a circle x^2 + y^2 = r^2i dont get it
also the axial lines represent different angles as well. the line of +x is 0°, the +y is 90°, -x is 180°, -y is 270°it’s based on the equation for a circle x^2 + y^2 = r^2
and also the fact that, if you have a radial line with angle theta, the coordinates of the point on the circle where it falls is given by (r*cos(theta), r*sin(theta).
because of this, you have the relations that x=r*cos(theta)
y=r*sin(theta)
and from the equation of a circle you get that
r=sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
the straight lines on the polar coordinate system represent different angles you can plug into the function
the circles represent different radii that you can get from different angle inputs
>x^2 +y^2 = r^2what is this
