How Do You Graph Polar Equations In Powerpoint?
Microsoft Office PowerPoint is presentation software that helps you to create dynamic, interesting presentations. A polar graph is a type of graph commonly used for navigation and mathematical modeling. The position of any point on the plane is not only determined by distance, it’s also determined by the angle, theta, from a fixed direction. PowerPoint can work in conjunction with programs that can create basic graphs (such as Microsoft Office Excel 2007). However, Excel 2007 can’t produce a polar graph, so you’ll need to create your graph in .gif format in a mathematical program such as Maple. Create your polar graph in Maple using the polarplot (…) command, saving the plot to a .gif. For example, draw the polar plot 2+cos(theta),theta=-Pi and save it to a 200×300-pixel .gif by entering the following code: plotsetup(gif, plotoutput=’polarplot.gif’, plotoptions=’height=200,width=300′); polarplot(2+cos(theta),theta=-Pi..Pi,scaling=constrained) Open a new PowerPoint slide (choose the “
