Figure 7.1.8(b) is traced by a slider that controls the angle in the implicit polar representation of the lemniscate .
|
•
|
The slider reads the angle in multiples of and reports the angle in degrees. Hence, takes on the discrete values , in the interval .

When is negative, is actually imaginary.
A graph of the lemniscate can be drawn by applying the following to its equation. Clicking on the graph shown below will bring up the Plot Builder with all these options already selected. However, executing the complete worksheet with the !!! button in the toolbar will delete the graph drawn by the Plot Builder. If that's done, restore the original condition of the worksheet by closing the corrupted one and re-launching it.

The fifth command in Table 7.1.8(b) draws the lemniscate on the coordinate curves for polar coordinates.
Finally, an implicitly drawn graph of the lemniscate can be obtained after a conversion to Cartesian coordinates based on the trig identity .
