In this video we learn how to sketch a polar curve like r=1+cos(theta). We will start with a table of values, and figure out how to plot those on the plane. Then, we will "fill in the dots" by analyzing how r changes as we change theta. This example is called a cardioid, and it looks a bit like a sideways heart.
