Answer:


4√(3) - 4i = \boxed{\left(8, (\pi)/(6)\right)}

Explanation:

Given complex number is:
To plot this on polar coordinates use the fact that a complex number of the form
z=x+yi can be converted to polar form
(r, \theta) using the relationship


r = √(x^2 +y^2) )\\\mathrm{and}\\\theta = cos^(-1)\left((x)/(r)}\right)

Comparing
4√(3) - 4i and
z=x+yi

we see that


r = \sqrt{(4√(3))^2 + (-4)^2}\\\\r = √(48 + 16)\\\\\\r = √(64) = 8\\\\\theta = cos^(-1) \left((4√(3))/(8)\right)

\theta = \cos^(-1) \left((√(3))/(2)\right) = 30^\circ = (\pi)/(6) \;radians

So in polar coordinates,


4√(3) - 4i = \left(8, (\pi)/(6)\right)
