Graphs of Polar Equations

Polar Equations, as already learned, are different from rectangular equations and useful in their own ways. Polar coordinates correspond with Polar equations, which both use angles and radius. These equations can make much cooler shapes and figures that rectangular equations can not make due to its limitations. Some typical polar equations: 
Polar Equations can also have symmetry and be symmetrical to many axes. One can use the symmetry test to yield what the polar equation/graph is symmetrical to. The symmetry test is as follows: 
One should also use a graphing utility to check your graph or graph extremely complex equations/graphs.
