y=x tan(1/(x^2+y^2))y=xtan(1x2+y2), representing a spiral from the origin that turns forever, to reach the origin..

Explanation:

As r^2>0r2>0, its reciprocal theta > 0θ>0

Using the conversion formula #r(cos theta, sin theta) = (x, y),

theta=tan^(-1)(y/x)=1/(x^2+y^2) to y = x tan (1/(x^2+y^2))θ=tan1(yx)=1x2+y2y=xtan(1x2+y2).

I want variation of theta in (0, oo)θ(0,).

The graph is a spiral that approaches origin only in the limit,

as x, y to oox,y.. .
