Answer

$\theta\in[0,2\pi]$ (For just the upper heart, set $\theta\in[0,2\pi]$)

Work Step by Step

Work done in geogebra: First, define r as a function of $\theta$ Use x = $ f(\theta)\cdot\cos\theta,\qquad y=f(\theta)\cdot\sin\theta$ to plot the curve. Change the domain until the curve retraces itself. Here, $\theta\in[0,2\pi]$ (For just the upper heart, set $\theta\in[0,2\pi]$) The points A, B, C show the direction in which the parameter increases.
