To find the point in the plane corresponding to the ordered pair (f(θ),θ), we follow the same process as when finding the point corresponding to (r,θ).

    You have likely encountered the Cartesian coordinate system in many aspects of mathematics. There is an alternative way to represent points in space, called polar coordinates.
