Answer:


(√(16+(-6i)^2),\tan^(-1)(-(3i)/(2)))

Explanation:

To convert from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates:


\begin{gathered} r=√(x^2+y^2) \\ \theta=\tan^(-1)((y)/(x)) \\ \text{ Polar coordinates would be:} \\ (r,\theta) \end{gathered}

Therefore, for the given coordinate:


z(4,\text{ -6i\rparen}
\begin{gathered} r=√(4^2+(-6i)^2) \\ \theta=\tan^(-1)(-(3i)/(2)) \end{gathered}

Hence, the polar coordinates of the given cartesian coordinates:


(√(16+(-6i)^2),\tan^(-1)(-(3i)/(2)))
