r^4sin theta cos theta ( cos theta+sin theta )r4sinθcosθ(cosθ+sinθ)
- 2 r - cos theta csc^2theta= 0, r ne 0.2rcosθcsc2θ=0,r0.

Explanation:

I have realized that my previous answer was wrong. Thank you

Sonnhard. Now, I do it again.

Using

0 <= sqrt ( x^2 + y^2 ) = r and ( x, y ) = r ( cos theta, sin theta )0x2+y2=rand(x,y)=r(cosθ,sinθ),

2 = x^2y -x/y^2 + xy^22=x2yxy2+xy2 converts to

r^4sin theta cos theta ( cos theta+sin theta )r4sinθcosθ(cosθ+sinθ)

- 2 r - cos theta csc^2theta= 0, r ne 0.2rcosθcsc2θ=0,r0.

Graph, from the given Cartesian equation:
graph{ x^2y -x/y^2 + xy^2 - 2 = 0}

As x and y to 0, parabolic x/y^2 to - 2xandy0,parabolicxy22.

In polars, as r to 0, cos theta/sin^2theta to 0 rArr cos theta to 0r0,cosθsin2θ0cosθ0

rArr abs theta to pi/2|θ|π2
