(x^2 +y^2)^3= 9(x^2 -y^2)^2

Explanation:

Write the given equation as r=3(cos^2 theta - sin^2 theta)

Or r^3= 3 (r^2 cos^2 theta -r^2 sin^2 theta)

Since r^2 = x^2 +y^2 and rcos theta =x, and rsin theta =y,

it would be (x^2+y^2)^(3/2) = 3(x^2- y^2)

Now square both sides. (x^2 +y^2)^3= 9(x^2 -y^2)^2
