Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin. r = -3 + 3 sin θ A. y-axis only B. Origin only C. x-axis only D. No symmetry

OpenStudy (robtobey2):

Refer to the attached plot.

OpenStudy (ally_b):

So A @robtobey2

OpenStudy (phi):

I think that is the equation for a polar plot http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=polar+plot+r+%3D+-3+%2B+3+sin+θ

OpenStudy (ally_b):

So it is symmetric about the y-axis? @phi

OpenStudy (phi):

yes, the left side "matches" the right side i.e. if we folded the figure along the y-axis, the two sides would lie on top of each other

OpenStudy (phi):

Here is the plot

Thank you! Could you help me with another question? :)

OpenStudy (ally_b):
