A recurrence relation an=c1an−1+c2an−2a_n = c_1 a_{n-1} + c_2 a_{n-2}an​=c1​an−1​+c2​an−2​ has the characteristic roots r1=1+ir_1 = 1 + ir1​=1+i and r2=1−ir_2 = 1 - ir2​=1−i. Express the roots in polar form r=ρ(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)r = \rho(\cos \theta + i \sin \theta)r=ρ(cosθ+isinθ). What are ρ\rhoρ and θ\thetaθ?
