Problem

4. (8 points) Sketch $r=1+\sin \theta$ in rectangular coordinates for $0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi$. Then use the rectangular graph as a table of values to sketch $r=1+\sin \theta$ in polar coordinates. Be sure to use arrows and numbers to show the direction of the curve and how each portion of the rectangular curve corresponds to the polar curve.

Answer

Finally, check whether your results meet the requirements of the problem.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we need to sketch the graph of \(r=1+\sin \theta\) in rectangular coordinates for \(0 \leq \theta \leq 2 \pi\).

Step 2 :The rectangular coordinates of a point on this graph is given by \(x = r \cos \theta\) and \(y = r \sin \theta\).

Step 3 :Substitute \(r = 1 + \sin \theta\) into the equations, we get \(x = (1 + \sin \theta) \cos \theta\) and \(y = (1 + \sin \theta) \sin \theta\).

Step 4 :Then, we can use these equations to sketch the graph in rectangular coordinates.

Step 5 :Next, we need to sketch the graph of \(r=1+\sin \theta\) in polar coordinates.

Step 6 :We can use the rectangular graph as a table of values to sketch the polar graph.

Step 7 :Be sure to use arrows and numbers to show the direction of the curve and how each portion of the rectangular curve corresponds to the polar curve.

Step 8 :Finally, check whether your results meet the requirements of the problem.
