10.4 Exercise 73

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use a graphing utility to graph each pair of polar equations on a domain of [ 0,4π ] \left[0 , 4 \pi\right] and then explain the differences shown in the graphs.

r=2sin( θ 2 ),r=θsin( θ 2 ) r = 2 \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right) , r = \theta \sin \left(\frac{\theta}{2}\right)
