Answer
An exponential function with base $e$.
Work Step by Step
The conversion of polar coordinates and Cartesian coordinates are described as follows:
1. $r^2=x^2+y^2$ and $r=\sqrt {x^2+y^2}$
2. $\tan \theta =\dfrac{y}{x} \implies \theta =\tan^{-1} (\dfrac{y}{x})$
3. $x=r \cos \theta$ and 4. $y=r \sin \theta$
Multiply the given equation by $\sin \theta$
Now, we have $r \sin \theta=e^{r \cos \theta}$
Thus, the Cartesian equation is $y=e^x$
Hence, this shows an exponential function with base $e$.
