sqrt37/_-1,4371,4

Explanation:

A complex number x+iyx+iy in rectangular form may be converted to polar form r/_thetarθ (trigonometric form) as follows :

r=sqrt(x^2+y^2) and theta =tan^(-1)(y/x)r=x2+y2andθ=tan1(yx).

So in this particular case we get :

r=sqrt((-1)^2+6^2)=sqrt37r=(1)2+62=37

theta=tan^(-1)(6/(-1))=-80,5^@=-1,4radθ=tan1(61)=80,5=1,4rad
