Question
Use a graphing utility to generate the polar graph. Be sure to choose the parameter interval so that a complete graph is generated.$$r=\cos \frac{\theta}{5}$$
Step 1
The function is $r=\cos \frac{\theta}{5}$. This is a cosine function, but it is not the standard cosine function. The $\frac{\theta}{5}$ term means that the period of the function is 5 times longer than the standard cosine function. Show more…
