The rectangular coordinates of a point are (-3,3 sqrt(3)) . Represent the point using polar coordinates. Write your answer using degrees. (r, theta) = ( , )
----------------
r+=+sqrt%283%5E2%29+%2B+%283sqrt%283%29%29%5E2%29+=+sqrt%2836
r = 6
theta = atan(3sqrt(3)/-3) = -sqrt(3)
theta = 60 degs
In Q2, theta = 120 degs or 2pi/3 radians
-----
(r, theta) = (6,120)
