POLAR EQUATION!! HELP! sketch:2sin(feta) please explain!

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

should that say r = 2sin(theta)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

When \(\large \theta=0\), we're pointing out in this direction.|dw:1375867112718:dw|How far out should our radius extend? Well if we plug \(\large \theta=0\) into our function, we can solve for r.\[\large r=2\sin0 \qquad\to\qquad r=0\]So our radius would extend outward zero.

|dw:1375867226755:dw|When theta is pi/4 we're pointing out in this direction. Let's plug pi/4 into our function to see what distance our radius should be.\[\large r=2\sin(\pi/4) \qquad\to\qquad r=\sqrt2\]
