(d/dt) rθ^2 = 0 r^. θ^2 + 2rθθ^. = 0 r^. = −((2rθθ^. )/θ^2 ) = − ((2rθ^. )/θ) r^. = −((2bθ^. )/θ^3 ) v = (√((r^. )^2 +r^2 (θ^. )^2 )) v = (√(((4b^2 )/θ^6 )(θ^. )^2 + (b^2 /θ^4 )(θ^. )^2 )) v = ((bθ^. )/θ^2 )(√((4/θ^2 )+1))

r^. = be^(θ^2 /2) θθ^. v = (√((r^. )^2 +r^2 (θ^. )^2 )) v = (√(b^2 θ^2 e^θ^2 (θ^. )^2 +b^2 e^θ^2 (θ^. )^2 )) v = be^(θ^2 /2) θ^. (√(θ^2 +1))

$$\overset{.} {{r}}\:=\:{be}^{\theta^{\mathrm{2}} /\mathrm{2}} \:\theta\overset{.} {\theta} \\ $$$${v}\:=\:\sqrt{\left(\overset{.} {{r}}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +{r}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\overset{.} {\theta}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${v}\:=\:\sqrt{{b}^{\mathrm{2}} \theta^{\mathrm{2}} {e}^{\theta^{\mathrm{2}} } \left(\overset{.} {\theta}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +{b}^{\mathrm{2}} {e}^{\theta^{\mathrm{2}} } \left(\overset{.} {\theta}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${v}\:=\:{be}^{\theta^{\mathrm{2}} /\mathrm{2}} \overset{.} {\theta}\sqrt{\theta^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}} \\ $$

indeed, thanks for pointing out. it is now corrected
