how to turn any graph into a spiral? so instead of plotting the function, the function is used as how fast the graph (initially facing x axis) rotates.

after plotting the graph, how to find the converging point of the spiral? here is a pic of how the graph of x^2 would look like. i forgot how to do it. i used to know

essentially you just plot parametrically the antiderivatives of cos(f(t)), sin(f(t))

#

to see if this converges, calculate (probably numerically) the improper integrals

#

,,\int_0^{\infty} cos(f(a)) \text{ and } \int_0^{\infty} sin(f(a))da

these are not always guaranteed to exist i believe

#

however I don't believe in general this type of graph is what you describe as a spiral whose rotation is "proportional to the function".

#

if you calculate the rate of change of the angle

#

,,\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}arctan(\frac{y(t)}{x(t)}) \text{ you do not recover } f(t)

Yes that's exactly what the euler spiral is

#

Oh

#

So these already exist?

So not really a euler spiral ig
