(2,pi/6)

Explanation:

To convert cartesian coordinates (x ,y) to Polar coordinates (r,theta)
Use the formulae which link them.

•r=sqrt(x^2+y^2)

and since sqrt3+i=(sqrt3,1) is in the 1st quadrant , then.

•theta=tan^-1(y/x)

here x =sqrt3" and "y=1

rArrr=sqrt((sqrt3)^2+1^2)=sqrt4=2

and theta=tan^-1(1/sqrt3)=pi/6" or "30^@

rArr(sqrt3,1)to(2,pi/6)
