10.4 Exercise 75

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.

On a graphing utility, graph r=sin( 16 5 θ ) r = \sin \left(\frac{16}{5} \theta\right) on [ 0\left[\right. 0, 4π ]4 \pi \left]\right., [ 0\left[\right. 0, 8π ]8 \pi \left]\right., [ 0\left[\right. 0, 12π ] 12 \pi \left]\right., and [ 0\left[\right. 0, 16π ]. 16 \pi \left]\right. . Describe the effect of increasing the width of the domain.
