Welcome to Mathematics Dictionary
Figure 28 : Patterns example of polar functions
Product no. Mvb2

Q1. What are the functins of the patterns ?
    (1) The function is R=1+1*sin(p*A/q)^M and q=4 M=3
    (2) The value p is from 1 to 9

Q2. Find the petals of the patterns relation with p
    (1) For p = 9, we see that there are 9 large and 9 small petals
    (2) Total is 2*9 or 2*p petals if p=odd, q=4 and M=3
    (3) Total is p petals if p is even, q=even and M=odd

Q3 What is the cycle domain ?
    (1) Use Program WebABC
    (2) Click Form and Click topic 8
    (3) Click ZA in file name box and p=1
    (4) Click 08 01 in lower box and A=(0,1*pi)
    (5) Click 08 02 in lower box and A=(0,2*pi)
    (6) Click 08 07 in lower box and A=(0,7*pi)
    (8) Click 08 08 in lower box and A=(0,8*pi)
    (9) Click 08 09 in lower box and A=(0,9*pi)
Note : 8*pi and 9*pi give same patterns. Cycle domain is 8*pi
