Sketch the curver $r=\frac{1}{2} \theta($ the spiral of Archimedes) for $\theta$ bettween 0 and 2$\pi$ by plotting the points for $\theta=0, \frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}, \ldots, 2 \pi$
PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS, POLAR COORDINATES, AND VECTOR FUNCTIONS
Polar Coordinates
Graph the following spirals. Indicate the direction in which the spiral is generated as $\theta$ increases, where $\theta>0 .$ Let $a=1$ and $a=-1$. Spiral of Archimedes: $r=a \theta$
Parametric and Polar Curves
Graph each spiral of Archimedes. See Example 7. $r=-4 \theta$ (Use a graphing calculator in a window of $[-30,30]$ by $[-30,30],$ in radian mode, and $\theta \text { in }[-12 \pi, 12 \pi] .)$
