Objective: Test for symmetry in polar equations. Warm up 1. a. Find a point symmetric w.r.t x-axis (polar axis). b. Find a point symmetric w.r.t. y-axis ( ). c. Find a point symmetric w.r.t origin. *
To prove symmetry: X-axis (polar axis): replace with To prove symmetry: X-axis (polar axis): replace with . Y-axis ( ): replace with ( ) . Origin (pole) : replace r with – r or replace with . Example 1 Show that the graph of is symmetry with respect to the polar axis.
Example 2 Prove that the graph of is symmetric with respect to the y-axis. Example 3 Prove that the graph of is symmetric with respect to the origin.
