Polar Coordinates (9.1)
expected to:
C97 construct and examine
graphs in the polar
Terms students should become familiar with are:
plane
< pole
< polar axis
< polar equation
Student groups should be able to graph points and polar equations

containing either “r” or “
”.
Students should recognize that the polar coordinates are not specific to
only one point much like angles in standard position can be defined by
more than one standard angle.

Note: Students will be expected to research the applications and
advantages of the Polar Plane.
Note: Students will be expected to get a table of values( manually or
using the TI-83), draw the graph on polar graph paper and check the
result on the TI-83.
