5-Leafed Rose the simple way

Print Friendly and PDF Here is an extension of yesterday's post, where I have adjusted the graph to get 5 leafs instead of 3.
This file can be found here.
Below is a bit of mathematics that I would have discussed in a class. with the goal of graphing in parametric mode on a graphic calculator. For students not yet up to that, I would adapt this so that they can experiment with different rotational speeds, reverse directions, etc., and would not include the pre-plotted graph.
 A=(.75,0)Jack=(.75+cos(2t),0+sin(2t))C=(.75,0)Jill=(.75+cos(3t),0+sin(3t))redpoint=Jack+Jill2redpoint=(cos(2t)+cos(3t),sin(2t)+sin(3t))2
