You can use the rectangular-polar conversion on any scientific calculator to do this type of conversion. However, in this case, you should be able to do the calculation in your head: any point on the positive i-axis has an angle of 90 degrees; any point on the negative i-axis (as in this case) has an angle of 270 degrees.

Why can't we add and subtract polar form of complex numbers and multiply and divide the rectangular form of complex number?
You can certainly multiply and divide with the rectangular form, but it is somewhat easier in polar form. This is especially relevant if you want to extend to more complicated operations, such as higher powers or taking roots. As for the polar form, any method to add and subtract them directly would probably be quite complicated, and directly or indirectly involve many of the same calculations that are done in converting from polar to rectangular, and back. Try it! (That is, try to deduce the formulas for adding two complex numbers in polar form.)

What are the parts of a complex number?
A complex number can be thought of as a vector with two components, called the "real part" (usually represented on the horizontal axis), and the "imaginary part" (usually represented on the vertical axis). You can also express the complex number in polar form, that is, with a a length and an angle.

What are the characteristics of a complex number?
A complex number must have a real and imaginary part. It can be in the form: a + bi i is an imaginary number and a and b are real numbers
