I don't understand how to convert -3-4i to polar coordinates. I need to know how so I am ready for my trig final next year. Can someone please show me step by step how to solve this? Thanks

I'm sorry, I mean could you convert w= 1+sqrt3i to polar coordinates. I already did the other. My bad.
r^2 = 1^2+3 = 4
r=2

tanθ = y/x = √3
x and y are positive, so we're in QI
θ = π/3

1+√3 i = (2,π/3)
