Answer

$(1, -1,1) \Longrightarrow (\sqrt{8}, \frac{\pi}{4},1) $.

Work Step by Step

We have $$ x=2, \quad y =2, \quad z=1.$$ Now, we have $$ r=\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=\sqrt{8},$$ $$\theta =\tan^{-1}y/x=\tan^{-1}\frac{1}{1}=\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{4},$$ $$ z=1.$$ So, $(1, -1,1) \Longrightarrow (\sqrt{8}, \frac{\pi}{4},1) $.
