Switching from to t, we have the equations x sin8t5 cos t y sin8t5 sin t t and Figure 8 shows the resulting curve. Notice that this rose has 6 loops. M FIGURE 8 r=sin(8 /5) _ N In Exercise 55 you are asked to prove analytically what we have discovered from the graphs in Figure 9. V EXAMPLE Investigate the family of polar curves given by r c sin. How does the shape change as c changes? (These curves are called limaçons, after a French word for snail, because of the shape of the curves for certain values of c.) SLUTIN Figure 9 shows computer-drawn graphs for various values of c. For c there is a loop that decreases in size as c decreases. When c the loop disappears and the curve becomes the cardioid that we sketched in Example 7. For c between and the cardioid s cusp is smoothed out and becomes a dimple. When c decreases from to, the limaçon is shaped like an oval. This oval becomes more circular as c l, and when c the curve is just the circle r. c=.7 c= c=.7 c=.5 c=. c=.5 c=_ c= c=_. c=_.5 c=_.8 c=_ FIGURE 9 Members of the family of limaçons r=+c sin The remaining parts of Figure 9 show that as c becomes negative, the shapes change in reverse order. In fact, these curves are reflections about the horizontal axis of the corresponding curves with positive c. M. EXERCISES Plot the point whose polar coordinates are given.
