For the following exercises, find rectangular coordinates for the given point in polar coordinates.
For the following exercises, determine whether the graphs of the polar equation are symmetric with respect to the -axis, the -axis, or the origin.
For the following exercises, describe the graph of each polar equation. Confirm each description by converting into a rectangular equation.
For the following exercises, convert the rectangular equation to polar form and sketch its graph.
For the following exercises, convert the rectangular equation to polar form and sketch its graph.
For the following exercises, convert the polar equation to rectangular form and sketch its graph.
