Convert in polar form   -1-i

Hi!
swebo correctly answers the question.
 
The proper solution is given below.
 
The given complex number is – 1 – i.
Let r cos θ = –1 and r sin θ = –1
On squaring and adding, we obtain
This is the required polar form.
 
Best wishes!

 Let z = -1-i. Then,

               r = l z l = √ (-1)2 + (-1)2 = √2

 

Let tan α = | Im (z) / Re (z) |. Then,

      tan α = | -1/ -1 | = 1 or α = π/4

Since the point ( -1, -1) representing z lies in the third quadrant. Therefore, the argument of z is given by 

                   θ = - (π - α) = - ( π - π/4) = -3π/4

So, the polar form of z = -1-i is

                  z = r ( cosθ + i sin θ )

                     = √2{ cos (-3π/4) + i sin (-3π/4) }

                     = √2 ( cos 3π/4 - i sin 3π/ 4) is the required answer
