The form is : z = r [ cos θ + i sin θ]
r = √[ ( -2 )^2 + (-2)^2 ] = √ 8 = 2√2
θ is in the 3rd quadrant and can be found, thusly
arctan (-2/-2) = arctan(1) = 45° = pi/4
But....since this is in the 3rd quadrant, the angle becomes 5pi/4
So...the trigonometric (polar) form is :
z = 2√2 [ cos 5pi/4 + i sin 5pi/4 ]
