Question

True or false: Polar equations can describe graphs as functions, even when their equations in the rectangular coordinate system are not functions.

Answer 1

The statement above is true. Polar equations indeed can describe graphs as functions, even if when the equations in the rectangular coordinate system are not one of the functions. Polar equations can be graphed accurately using hands by using the Polar Coordinate System.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

A polar equation describes the relation between r and θ. Here 'r' is the distance from the origin to a point curve. 'θ' is the angle made by a point on a curve, the pole, and the positive x-axis.

So, the statement - Polar equations can describe graphs as functions, even when their equations in the rectangular coordinate system are not functions - is true.
