2.
Determine the magnitude and phase of x. Then, check the correct answers in the table below. If none of these answers appears correct, write your answer in the last row.
Note: Check one answer in each column.

Magnitude Phase
$\bigcirc$ 1 $\bigcirc$ 0
$\bigcirc$ $\sqrt{2}$ $\bigcirc$ $\frac{3\pi}{4}$
$\bigcirc$ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ $\bigcirc$ $\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\bigcirc$ 2 $\bigcirc$ $-\frac{3\pi}{4}$
