Desmos Graphing

Desmos Graphing

Polar Graphing: 
A system of coordinates in which the location of a point is determined by its distance from a fixed point at the center of the coordinate space (called the pole) and by the measurement of the angle formed by a fixed line (the polar axis, corresponding to the x-axis in Cartesian coordinates) and a line from the pole through the given point. The polar coordinates of a point are given as (rθ), where r is the distance of the point from the pole, and θ is the measure of the angle.  (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/)

Equations to use: *must change graph type from Cartesian to Polar*

--Used to create "rose" shaped graphs--

  • r= (a number)                                     
  • r=acos(n*Theta)           
  • r=asin(n*Theta) 
  • r=asinbtheta
--Limacon --

  •  r=a+bsin theta
  • r=a+bcos theta

--Spiral of Archimedes--

  •  r=theta

First Rose Shaped Graph



Steps:

1.    Go to www.desmos.com
2.    Change graph type to polar
3.    Put in equations
4.    r= (a number)
         --r= 0.5
5.    r=asin(n*Theta) 
         --r= 3 sin ( 4* theta)


Final Graph

Part 1:
Steps:
1.    Because all equations are known they can now be combined: multiplied/added/subtracted/divided.
2.    r= theta cos 6 + sin (8 theta) (8 sin 8 theta)
               -- r=acos(n*Theta)
               -- r=theta          
               -- r=asinbtheta
3.    r=88 (88 cos 8 theta) (8 sin 8 theta)
               -- r=a cos (n*Theta)
               -- r=theta
               -- r=a sin b theta
Part 2:


Equations Used:

1.    r=8 (sin 8 theta)   
           -- Orange center: r=asin(n*Theta)
                      --small rose graph
2.    r=88 (88 cos 8 theta) (8 sin 8 theta)
           -- star shaped center/ black lines: r=a cos (n*Theta), r=theta, r=a sin b theta
3.    r=6+(-5 (theta cos theta))
            -- green leaf: Limacon Graph, r=a+b cos theta
4.     r= -88 theta
            -- stem: Spiral of Archimedes with coefficient, r=theta
5.     r= theta cos 6 + sin (8 theta) (8 sin 8 theta)
            -- r=asinbtheta, r=theta, r=acos(n*Theta)
6.     r=100.02 sin 6 theta 
            -- Blue rose shaped graph: r=asinbtheta
