Esty, Warren W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
In polar coordinates, the intersection of the graphs of two functions, f(x) and g(x), does not always correspond to the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x). Presented are examples to illustrate this concept, proofs demonstrating why this is true, and a computer program to simultaneously plot polar coordinate graphs. (MDH)
