Question

I have this project where i have to create and equation in radians and polar and this has to create a 3d graph on the calculator for example cos(9theta^2)+6+2 makes a star looking thing

Answer 1

i need 2 or more equations

Answer 2

Do you have a graphing calculator? Why not just switch it to polar coordinates mode and then graph random crap until you like what comes out?

Answer 3

that's my problem, my graphing calculator isnt working properly

Answer 4

What kind of calculator is it?

Answer 5

i have it on polar and degrees but it wont work, it does work with radians

Answer 6

TI-84 PLUS TEXAS

Answer 7

Why not use radians?

Answer 8

well wouldn't it be harder to graph it on the paper?

Answer 9

I guess you're more comfortable with degrees than with radians, eh?

Answer 10

i dont mind but i think it is going to be harder to graph it because it has more points

Answer 11

It's not any harder to graph, really.

Answer 12

well can you help me find an equation ? please

Answer 13

the coordinates wont come right when i graph it on the paper so i have to do it in degrees :/

Answer 14

Converting! =D
Degrees *(pi/180) = radians
Radians *(180/pi) = degrees

Answer 15

yes but how do i put that in the calculator? i'm sorry im not familiar with graphing calculators

Answer 16

Well, I'm just... not really going to give you the equations. You'll need to come up with those on your own. If you come up with an equation that you like, and you want to change the equation so that it works in degrees, talk to me.
