Finding the point of intersection of polar graphs may require further analysis beyond solving two equations simultaneously.
Take examples of two polar equationsr=12cosθ and r=1
. Solve these equations to obtain the point of intersection
r=12cosθ
1=12cosθ
cosθ=0
θ=π2,3π2
So, point of intersection will be (1,π2).(1,3π2.
After plotting these polar equation, the graph obtained is:
From the above figure, there are three points of intersection:
(1,π2),(1,3π2) and (1,0).
Simultaneous points of intersection are obtained. There may be intersection points that do not occur with the same co-ordinates in the two graphs.
