Why cant anybody help me with polar graph??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because you didn't ask any specific question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is the range from -pi/4 to pi.4 for the graph of r^2=36cos2(theta)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r^2= 36 cos[theta]^2 same as r= 6 cos[theta]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is just a circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do i graph it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1323205913699:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

think r=6 cos[theta] when it is horizontal cos[0]=1 r= 6 cos[0]= 6 r is 6 when horizontal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so theta -pi/4 to pi/4 would only include the right half

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey, can graph the this just using:|dw:1323206339946:dw| and then just plot points
