Now the distance from the origin to the points on the curve is r, if you look at the cartesian plot, as $\theta$ increases we should see r increase. But in your polar plot, we see minimal $r$ appearing periodically. This does not make sense. I don't see how straight grid lines in the cartesian plot become r = constant lines in the polar plot. I think this is wrong. I think if you use the right transformation it will be - desmos.com/calculator/q4gmpdkcw2 | |
