    Q6. Prove that R = sin(2*A) has 4 petals

    The procedures are based on
    • R = sin(2*n*pi+pi/2)=1 and R = sin(2*n*pi+1.5*pi) = -1.
    • That is 2*A = 90, 270, 350, ....
    The proof
    • .. Angle 2*A ... Data angle A ... Value of R ... Plot angle between 0 and 360
    • 1. 90 .......... A = 45 ......... R = +1 ....... A = 45
    • 2. 270 ......... A = 135 ........ R = -1 ....... A = 135 + 180 (315)

      • The cycle domain is A = 405 - 45 = 360 degrees = 2*pi
    • Note
      • If R is negative, the plot angle + 180.
      • If plot angle greater than 360 and change it to between 0 and 360.

    Prove that it is a circle
    • In polar coordinates x = r*cos(A) and y = r*sin(A).
    • Hence R^2 = x^2 + y^2.
    • R = sin(A) = y/R.
    • R^2 = y.
    • x^2 + y^2 = y.
    • By completing square : x^2 + y^2 - y + 1/4 - 1/4 = 0.
