Answer:

(2
√(2), 135° )

Explanation:

To convert from rectangular to polar form, that is

(x, y ) → (r, Θ ), with

r =
√(x^2+y^2)

tanΘ =
(y)/(x)

Given - 2 + 2i, then

r =
√((-2)^2+2^2) =
√(4+4) =
√(8) = 2
√(2)

Since - 2 + 2i is in the second quadrant then Θ must be in the second quadrant.

tanΘ =
(2)/(-2) = - 1, thus

Θ =
tan^(-1) (- 1) = - 45°, hence

Θ = 180° - 45° = 135° ← in second quadrant

Thus

- 2 + 2i → (2
√(2), 135° )
