Write a point in rectangular form to polar form

The video tutorial explores the process of finding the polar coordinates R and Theta for a point in the Cartesian plane. It begins with a discussion on generalizations without using units, followed by identifying the quadrant of a point with negative coordinates. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate R using the Pythagorean theorem and Theta using the tangent function. Finally, it explains how to determine the angle in standard position, emphasizing visualization over memorization.
