Dr. Mike Mays wrote the polar grapher using what are called parametric plots, which treat both x and y as depending on t.

If you look at the \"fine print\" at the bottom of the grapher you can see the formulas for how x and y points are being generated.

What is the recipe he used?

Solution

Recipe is actually the formula which is used to convert the polar coordinates into rectangular coordinates by using the values of r and t which is to be plotted.
