You Try It!
1. Graph the set of parametric equations
x = 5cos(t) + 14cos(15t), y = 5sin(t) + 14sin(15t)
restart:
with(plots):
x:=5*cos(t)+14*cos(15*t);
y:=5*sin(t)+14*sin(15*t);
plot([x,y,t=0..2*Pi]);

2. Graph the polar function r = t where 0 < t < 6*Pi
restart:
with(plots):
r(t):=t;
polarplot([r(t),t,t=0..6*Pi]);
Warning, the name changecoords has been redefined
3. Graph the implicit function
on the interval -1 < x < 1, -1 < y< 1. Use 1000 points and abs(x) to get the absolute value.
restart:
with(plots):
implicitplot(abs(x)^(2/3)+abs(y)^(2/3)=1,x=-1..1,y=-1..1,numpoints=1000);
Warning, the name changecoords has been redefined
4. Create an implicit function, a set of parametric equations, and a polar function. Use the display command from the last handout to create a single graph containing all three curves.
f1:=implicitplot(x^2+y^5-2*x*y^2=3,x=-5..5,y=-5..5,numpoints=1000,color=blue):
f2:=plot([5*cos(t),3*sin(t),t=0..2*Pi],color=green):
f3:=polarplot([5,theta,theta=0..2*Pi]):
display(f1,f2,f3);
