Answer

$zw = -64(cos(\frac{\pi}{6})-isin(\frac{\pi}{6}))$ $\frac{z}{w} = cos(\frac{\pi}{6})-isin(\frac{\pi}{6}) $ $\frac{1}{z}=\frac{1}{8}(cos(\frac{\pi}{6})+isin(\frac{\pi}{6}))$

Work Step by Step

$r = abs(z) =\sqrt (a^2 +b^2)$ $theta = arctan(\frac{b}{a})$ $z=r(cos(theta) +isin(theta))$ $z = 8(cos(\frac{\pi}{6})-isin(\frac{\pi}{6}))$ $w = 8(cos(\frac{\pi}{2})-isin(\frac{\pi}{2})$ Use normal algebra for $zw$ and $\frac{z}{w}$ . $zw$ = $8(cos(\frac{\pi}{6})-isin(\frac{\pi}{6}))$ X $8(cos(\frac{\pi}{2})-isin(\frac{\pi}{2})$ $zw$ = $8(cos(\frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{2} )-isin(\frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{2}))$ For $\frac{1}{z}:$ $\frac{1}{z} = \frac{1}{8(cos(\frac{\pi}{6})-isin(\frac{\pi}{6}))} $ but we know that $\frac{1}{cos(theta)-isin(theta)} = cos(theta)+isin(theta)$ Therefore $\frac{1}{z}=\frac{1}{8}(cos(\frac{\pi}{6})+isin(\frac{\pi}{6}))$
