Polar coordinate little help!

Hey people! New to this forum. I've googled this but not much help it is. So the question is does polar equations change the locus of it's Cartesian equation or is it the same mapping to both of em?

The Cartesian and Polar equation should look the same as long as you've converted correctly between them.

No problem. Essentially what you're doing is changing the way the points are plotted, but if they still satisfy the same equations, then you're going to have the same set of points.
