Convert each point from rectangular form to polar form:
a. (-1,1)
b. (-3,4)

a. (-1,1) responds to -1 + i. First we find the magnitude:

|-1 + i| = √(1+1) = √2

√2(-1/√2 + i/√2)

The angle x where cosx = -1/√2 and sinx = 1/√2 is 3π/4. Hence it is written as:

√2(cos(3π/4) + isin(3π/4))=

√2 * ℮^(3πi/4)

b) We follow the same procedure.

(-3,4) responds to -3 + 4i and we find the magnitude:

|-3 + 4i| = √(9+16) = √25 = 5

5(-3/5 + 4i/5)

Using a calculator we find that the angle x that cosx = -3/5 and sinx = 4/5 is 2.215. Hence:

-3 + 4i = 5 * e^(2.215i)
