Answer

$\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=-2(\cos 0^{\circ}+i\sin 0^{\circ})=-2$

Work Step by Step

Dividing in standard form: $\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=\frac{6+6i}{-3-3i}=\frac{6+6i}{-3-3i}\cdot\frac{-3+3i}{-3+3i}$ $=\frac{-18+18i-18i+18i^{2}}{9-9i^{2}}=\frac{-36}{18}=-2$ Put $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ in trigonometric form: $z_{1}=6+6i=6\sqrt {2}(\cos \frac{\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{4})$ $z_{2}=-3-3i=-3\sqrt {2}(\cos\frac{\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{4})$ Dividing again, we obtain: $\frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=\frac{6\sqrt {2}\,cis\,\frac{\pi}{4}}{-3\sqrt {2}\,cis\,\frac{\pi}{4}}=\frac{6\sqrt {2}}{-3\sqrt {2}}\,cis\,(\frac{\pi}{4}-\frac{\pi}{4})=-2\,cis\,0$ $=-2(\cos 0^{\circ}+i\sin 0^{\circ})$ This gives: $=-2(1+i\cdot0)=-2$
