Introduction

In this assignment, we will explore various properties concerning polar graphs, including symmetries, slopes of polar curves, finding areas, and determining lengths of polar curves. We'll work on several problems as assigned from Sections 11.4 and 11.5 of the text, providing detailed calculations and explanations for each step.

Problem #2: Symmetries

The function we will work on is given in polar coordinates as \( r = f(\theta) \).

Symmetry Analysis

1. About the Origin: A graph exhibits symmetry about the origin if \( r(-\theta) = -r(\theta) \).
2. About the Polar Axis: It demonstrates symmetry with respect to the polar axis if \( r(-\theta) = r(\theta) \).
3. About the Line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \): Symmetry here is indicated by \( r(\pi - \theta) = r(\theta) \).
Example Graph: \( r = 1 + \sin(\theta) \)
For asymmetry around the origin,
- Evaluating \( r(-\theta) = 1 + \sin(-\theta) = 1 - \sin(\theta) \neq r(\theta) \)
For symmetry about the polar axis,
- \( r(-\theta) = 1 - \sin(\theta) \neq r(\theta) \)
For symmetry about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \),
- We find \( r(\pi - \theta) = 1 + \sin(\pi - \theta) = 1 + \sin(\theta) = r(\theta) \)
Thus, the graph shows symmetry about the line \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{2} \).

Plotting the Graph

Using polar graph paper, we can plot values:
| \( \theta \) (in radians) | \( r \) | Polar Coordinates |
|---------------------------|------------|-----------------------|
| 0 | 1 | (1, 0) |
| \( \frac{\pi}{6} \) | 1.5 | (1.5, \( \frac{\pi}{6} \)) |
| \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) | \( \sqrt{2} \) | (\( \sqrt{2} \), \( \frac{\pi}{4} \)) |
| \( \frac{\pi}{3} \) | 2 | (2, \( \frac{\pi}{3} \)) |
| \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) | 2 | (2, \( \frac{\pi}{2} \)) |
| \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \) | 1 | (1, \( \frac{2\pi}{3} \)) |
| \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \) | 0.5 | (0.5, \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \)) |
| \( \frac{5\pi}{6} \) | 0 | (0, \( \frac{5\pi}{6} \)) |
| \( \pi \) | 1 | (1, \( \pi \)) |
Note: In this interpretation, "(r, θ)" represents polar coordinates.

Problem #6: Loop Analysis

Consider the polar curve \( r = 1 - \sin(2\theta) \).
To find the points where the curve hits the x-axis, we set \( r = 0 \):
\[
1 - \sin(2\theta) = 0 \Rightarrow \sin(2\theta) = 1
\]
The solutions for \( 2\theta \) are:
\[
2\theta = \frac{\pi}{2} + 2k\pi \Rightarrow \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} + k\pi \text{ for } k \in \mathbb{Z}
\]
This gives us two primary points in the interval \( [0, 2\pi) \):
- \( \theta = \frac{\pi}{4} \) and \( \theta = \frac{5\pi}{4} \)
Plotting the Graph:
For key values of \( \theta \):
| \( \theta \) (radians) | \( r \) | Polar Coordinates |
|-------------------------|------------|-------------------------------|
| 0 | 1 | (1, 0) |
| \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) | 0 | (0, \( \frac{\pi}{4} \)) |
| \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) | 1 | (1, \( \frac{\pi}{2} \)) |
| \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \) | 0 | (0, \( \frac{3\pi}{4} \)) |
| \( \pi \) | 1 | (1, \( \pi \)) |
| \( \frac{5\pi}{4} \) | 0 | (0, \( \frac{5\pi}{4} \)) |
| \( \frac{3\pi}{2} \) | 1 | (1, \( \frac{3\pi}{2} \)) |
| \( \frac{7\pi}{4} \) | 0 | (0, \( \frac{7\pi}{4} \)) |

Slopes of Polar Curves (#18)

To find \( \frac{dy}{dx} \):
Given a polar curve, we use:
\[
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{r'(\theta) \sin(\theta) + r(\theta) \cos(\theta)}{r'(\theta) \cos(\theta) - r(\theta) \sin(\theta)}
\]
Where \( r = 1 + \sin(\theta) \). Thus,
1. \( r'(\theta) = \cos(\theta) \)
2. Substitute into slope finding formula.

Finding Areas (#2 and #6)

The area \( A \) enclosed by a polar curve \( r = f(\theta) \) from \( \theta = a \) to \( \theta = b \) is given by:
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \int_a^b f^2(\theta) d\theta
\]
For \( r = 1 + \sin(\theta) \) between \( \theta = 0 \) to \( \pi \):
\[
A = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\pi} (1 + \sin(\theta))^2 d\theta
\]
Calculating this will provide us the area.

Finding Lengths (#22, #29)

The arc length \( L \) is determined using:
\[
L = \int_{a}^{b} \sqrt{ \left( r(\theta) \right)^2 + \left( r'(\theta) \right)^2 } d\theta
\]
For \( r = 1 + \sin(\theta) \):
- Calculate \( r'(\theta) \)
- Substitute into length formula and integrate over the desired limits.

Conclusion

This assignment provides essential insights into polar graphs, including symmetry properties, plotting techniques, and area and length calculations. Understanding these concepts requires both algebraic manipulation and geometric visualization, forming the foundation for more advanced applications in polar coordinates.
