$(0, 1)$

Step 1

Convert from rectangular coordinates $(x, y)$ to polar coordinates $(r, θ)$ using the conversion formulas.

$r = \sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 2

Replace $x$ and $y$ with the actual values.

$r = \sqrt{{(0)}^{2} + {(1)}^{2}}$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 3

Find the magnitude of the polar coordinate.

Step 3.1

Raising $0$ to any positive power yields $0$ .

$r = \sqrt{0 + {(1)}^{2}}$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 3.2

One to any power is one.

$r = \sqrt{0 + 1}$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 3.3

Add $0$ and $1$ .

$r = \sqrt{1}$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 3.4

Any root of $1$ is $1$ .

$r = 1$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

$r = 1$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{y}{x})$

Step 4

Replace $x$ and $y$ with the actual values.

$r = 1$

$θ = t a n^{- 1} (\frac{1}{0})$

Step 5

The inverse tangent of Undefined is $θ = 90 °$ .

$r = 1$

$θ = 90 °$

Step 6

This is the result of the conversion to polar coordinates in $(r, θ)$ form.
