Further Pure Mathematics II
Polar Co-ordinates
- Lesson 1 -
Key Learning Points/Vocabulary:
● Plotting curves given in polar form.
● Investigating the shape of curves given in polar
form with a graphical calculator or computer.
Theory
An equation in polar form is given in the r = f(θ)
where θ is an angle measured anti-clockwise from
the origin/positive x-axis and r is the distance from
the origin.
e.g. If we are working with r = 2 + sin θ when θ = π/2,
r = 3.
Example I
Plot the curve r = θ
r 0 π/12 π/6 π/4 π/3 … 2π
θ
Lecture 5(polar coordinates)
Example II
Plot the curve r = 2 sin(θ)
r 0 π/12 π/6 π/4 π/3 … 2π
θ
Lecture 5(polar coordinates)
Practice
Construct tables showing value of θ between 0
and 2π in steps of π/12. Use these tables to
plot the following curves on polar paper.
• r = θ + sin (2θ)
• r = 2 + cos (θ)
• r = 3 sin (θ)
• r = 1 + sin (θ) + cos (θ)
• r = 1 + sin (θ) + cos (2θ)
• r = 2 + sin (θ) + cos (2θ)

Key Learning Points/Vocabulary:
● Converting between Cartesian and Polar Co-
ordinates.
To start with …
Polar equations/graphs matching activity.
Theory
The 2π convention refers to when all angles are
given as a positive number between 0 and 2π e.g. all
angles are measured anti-clockwise from the
origin/positive x-axis.
The π convention refers to when all angles are
given as a positive or negative number between -π
and +π e.g. all angles are at most half a turn either
way from the origin/positive x-axis.
Examples
1.) Using a.) 2π and b.) π convention, express the
Cartesian point (3, -2) in polar form.
2.) Express the polar co-ordinate (2, 3π/4) in
Cartesian form.
Practice
1.) Using a.) 2π and b.) π convention, express the
Cartesian point (-2, -4) in polar form.
2.) Express the polar co-ordinate (3, -π/4) in
Cartesian form.
3.) Find the area of the triangle form by the origin and
the polar co-ordinates (2, π/4) and (4, 3π/8).
4.) FP2&3, page 96, questions 7 and 8.

r = 2 + cos θ
If f(θ) = f(-θ) for all values of θ, the graph with polar
equation r = f(θ) is symmetrical about the line θ = 0.
Theory
More generally if f(2α – θ) = f(θ) for all values of θ,
then graph with equations r = f(θ) is symmetrical
about the line θ = α.
Example
Plot the graph r = 2 sin 2θ for 0 ≤ θ ≤ π/2. Prove that
the graph is symmetrical about the line θ = π/4.
