(Trigonometry) Is there a way that you can tell that a rose curve is symmetrical over the x-axis of y-axis without having to graph it?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

this is in polar coordinates right?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

if so, then check out http://www.most.gov.mm/techuni/media/EM_02011_chap5b.pdf

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All right, I guess I'll try to read it.

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the info you need is at the top, so not much reading has to be done really

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

although I do recommend you read it so you understand polar graphs better

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So there is symmetry over the x-axis, y-axis and origin for any of the radian values?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

only if those specific conditions are met

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

it doesn't happen with any polar graph

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, I'll see what I can do.
