原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
The pole r=0 belongs to the Cartesian curve and is also represented by this polar equation, for example at θ=0. Thus it is retained.

At θ=0 and θ=2π, r=0. For angles between these values, r>0.
Sketch a single loop in the first quadrant, starting and ending at the pole, symmetric about θ=4π. The tangents at the pole are the two coordinate axes.
Since sin2θ⩽1, the maximum radius occurs at θ=4π and is 3.
