Convert polar to rectangular coordinates

x=rcos(theta), y=rsin(theta)

Convert rectangular to polar coordinates where 0 < theta < 2pi

r = √x²+y², theta = tan^-1 (y/x)

Convert Rectangular Complex Numbers to Polar Form

r = √x²+y², tan^-1 (y/x) + pi(N)

Convert polar complex numbers to rectangular form

x= rcos(theta), y= rsin(theta)

Limaçon
