Question

Help please!

Can someone just give me one simple tip to graphing polar equations? All I'm asking for is one sentence that helps to make graphing them easier =) Thank you!

Answer 1

Personally, I find the simple phrase "Practice them a lot" to be a good way to learn them.

Answer 2

Can I get a more in-depth tip? Like something that would help you to remember if the graphed equation will be symmetrical horizontally or vertically?

Answer 3

this pdf shows various types of symmetry (and how to check for them)
