The most common example is thespiral of Archimedes, which has an equation of the formr = aθ (θ ≥ 0) or r = aθ (θ ≤ 0)In these equations, θ is <strong>in</strong> radians and a is positive.Example 2.18 Sketch the graph of r = θ (θ ≥ 0) <strong>in</strong> polar coord<strong>in</strong>ates by plott<strong>in</strong>g po<strong>in</strong>ts.Solution .........2.3 Tangent L<strong>in</strong>es, Arc Length, and Area for PolarCurvesTangent L<strong>in</strong>es to Polar CurvesOur first objective <strong>in</strong> this section is to f<strong>in</strong>d a method for obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g slopes of tangent l<strong>in</strong>esto polar curves of the form r = f(θ) <strong>in</strong> which r is a differentiable function of θ. A curve ofthis form can be expressed parametrically <strong>in</strong> terms of parameter θ by substitut<strong>in</strong>g f(θ) forr <strong>in</strong> the equations x = rcosθ and y = rs<strong>in</strong>θ. This yieldsx = f(θ)cosθ,y = f(θ)s<strong>in</strong>θ
