Answer:

2 cis (7/6 pi)

Explanation:

r = sqrt( a^2 + b^2)

r = sqrt (-sqrt(3) )^2 + (-1)^2)

= sqrt(3 +1)

= sqrt(4)

= 2

theta = arctan (b/a)

theta = arctan (-1/-sqrt(3))

theta = 30

but this is in the third quardrant -a and -b

so add 180

theta = 210 degrees

convert this to radians

210 * pi/180 = 210/180 * pi = 21/18 * pi = 7/6 * pi


r cis (theta)

2 cis (7/6 pi)
