Learn Mathematica! Here is a first plot in polar coordinates
 Here is the rose with 8 leaves: the file used (same, but printed as a pdf file)
Learn to solve equations and to integrate: the file (its pdf print)

Learn Maple! here is a first plot (pdf file)
There rose with 8 leaves: the code printed as a pdf file
Learn to solve equations and to integrate (pdf file)
Now you try:
Plot r=2*sin(t). Try each of the intervals t=0..Pi,  t=-Pi..0,  t=0..Pi/2

Solve for practice:

15.2: 1, 2, 3 and plot the parabolas in 3, 9
15.3: 1, 3, 4
15.4:  1,3,5,7, 17, 18, 19, 24a
16.1: 1, 5, 9b
Regarding Ex 4: We plotted two leaves, on one period of sin(2theta). But we should still plot the picture in the whole plane, meaning that we should cover with theta an interval of length 2Pi. But using the periodicity Pi in r=f(theta), in the rest of the plane we obtain the picture by rotating our two leaves by an angle Pi.
