Answer

$r=\cos \pi \theta -1$

Work Step by Step

We need to find the anti-derivative for $\dfrac{dr}{d \theta}=-\pi \sin \pi \theta $ Thus, we have $r=\cos \pi \theta +C$ Apply the initial condition $r(0)=0$ in the above equation to solve for $C$. we get $1+C=0 \implies C=-1$ Hence, $r=\cos \pi \theta -1$
