Answer

It is a limaçon with inner loop.

Work Step by Step

Main points: $θ=0$: $r=3$ This point passes through the x-axis at $x=3$ $r$ increases from $0\ltθ\lt\frac{\pi}{2}$... $θ=\frac{\pi}{2}$: $r=9$ This point passes through the y-axis at $y=9$ $r$ decreases from $\frac{\pi}{2}\ltθ\lt\pi$... $θ=\pi$: $r=3$ This point passes through the x-axis at $x=-3$ $r$ decreases from $\pi\ltθ\lt\frac{7\pi}{6}$... $θ=\frac{7\pi}{6}$: $r=0$ This point passes at the origin. $r$ increases from $\frac{7\pi}{6}\ltθ\lt\frac{3\pi}{2}$... $θ=\frac{3\pi}{2}$: $r=-3$ This point passes through the y-axis at $y=3$ $r$ decreases from $\frac{3\pi}{2}\ltθ\lt\frac{11\pi}{6}$... $θ=\frac{11\pi}{6}$: $r=0$ This point passes at the origin. $r$ increases from $\frac{11\pi}{6}\ltθ\lt2\pi$... $θ=2\pi$: $r=3$ This point passes through the x-axis at $x=3$
