Data from Example 3

Plot the graph of r = 1 − 2sinθ. Choosing values of θ and then finding the corresponding values of r, we find the following table of values.

[Particular care should be taken in plotting the points for which r is negative. We recall that when r is negative, the point is on the side opposite the pole from which it is positive.] This curve is known as a limaçon and is shown in Fig. 21.114.
