We know the relations

x=rcostheta and y =rsintheta

Again x^2+y^2=r^2

where r and theta are the polar coordinate of a point having rectangular coordinate (x,y)

The given equation in polar form is

(r+3)^2=sin^3theta+csctheta

=>r^2+6r+9=(r^3sin^3theta)/r^3+r/(rsintheta)

=>r^2+6r+9=y^3/r^3+r/y

=>yr^5+6yr^4+9yr^3=y^4+r^4

=>yr^5+(6y-1)r^4+9yr^3=y^4

=>y(x^2+y^2)^(5/2)+(6y-1)(x^2+y^2)^2+9y(x^2+y^2)^(3/2)=y^4

This is the Cartesian form of the given polar equation.
