This is called a one-to-one mapping from points in the plane to ordered pairs. The polar coordinate system provides an alternative method of mapping points to ordered pairs. In this section we see that in some circumstances, polar coordinates can be more useful than rectangular coordinates.

It is easier to graph polar equations if we can test the equations for symmetry. There are three symmetry tests that indicate whether the graph of a polar equation will exhibit symmetry. If an equation fails a symmetry test, the graph may or may not exhibit symmetry.

In this section, we introduce a new system for assigning coordinates to points in the plane -- polar coordinates. We start with an origin point, called the pole, and a ray called the polar axis. We then locate a point PP using two coordinates, (r,θ), where r represents a directed distance from the pole.

It covers plotting points using polar coordinates, interpreting angles and radii, and understanding the use of polar equations. The section also provides examples and exercises to help solidify the concepts and explore applications in graphing and real-world contexts.
