Determine if the graph is symmetric about the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin.
\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+-3+%2B+3+sin%28+theta%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "polar plot:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Image\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "test:
\n" ); document.write( "replace \"theta\" with \"-theta\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "polar plot: \"r+=+-3+%2B+3sin%28-theta%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Image\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "=>polar equation is changed; the graph is \"NOT\" symmetric about the\"+x\"-axis\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "replace \"theta\" with \"%28pi-theta%29+\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"r+=+-3+%2B+3+sin%28+pi-theta%29\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"Image\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and you will see that the graph will not change; the graph \"IS\" symmetric about the \"y\"-axis\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
