Two vectors in polar coordinates (R, θ) are given byV1 = (5.0, 125°) and V2 = (4.0, 260°). Find the sum V1 + V2 in polar coordinates. Give the answer to 2 significant figures for the magnitude and to the nearest degree in angle. Hint: first convert the vectors to Cartesian form and add them to get the resultant vector. Then convert this resultant vector to polar form

In Matlab: Any complex number z=a+bi can be given by its polar coordinates r and θ, where r=|z|=sqrt(a^2+b^2) is the magnitude and θ= arctan(ba) is the angle. Write a function that will return both the magnitude r and the angle θ of a given complex numberz=a+bi. You should not use the built-in functions abs and angle. You may use the built-in functions real and imag.
