Answer:

From My understanding they are all sort of representations of the same thing. Complex numbers can be written as polar coordinates or as a vector, although vectors have a magnitude and direction. I'm still a bit confused on this topic myself, but hope this helps a little bit

Answer: There is also a connection between multiplication of complex numbers and polar coordinates. As usual, polar coordinates of a point ( x , y ) in the plane are defined as ( r , θ ) where r is the length of the vector ( x , y ) and θ is the angle this vector makes with the positive x axis.

hope this helps
