Define a polar curve.

Back

A polar curve is a curve represented in polar coordinates, where each point on the curve is defined by a distance from a reference point (the pole) and an angle from a reference direction.

How do you determine the points of intersection between two polar curves?

Back

To find the points of intersection between two polar curves, set their equations equal to each other and solve for θ.
