Find the rectangular equation of the rose r = 4sin 2θ. Using the trigonometric identity sin2θ = 2sinθcosθ and Eqs. (21.41) and (21.42) leads to the solution:

Plotting the graph of this equation from the rectangular equation would be complicated. However, as we will see in the next section, plotting this graph in polar coordinates is quite simple. The curve is shown in Fig. 21.111.
