Converting Points from rectangular form to polar form

The video tutorial explains how to convert rectangular coordinates to polar form by calculating the length R and angle Theta. It covers plotting points, using the Pythagorean theorem to find R, and applying tangent and inverse functions to determine Theta. The tutorial also discusses how calculators compute angles in different quadrants and how to interpret these results.

What is the formula used to find R in polar coordinates?

Explain why distance in polar coordinates is always positive.

What is the value of R when calculated from the coordinates (-2, 2)?

How do you calculate the angle Theta in polar coordinates?

What is the angle in polar form for the coordinates (-2, 2)?
