Answer

$$\sqrt 3 + i$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{4\left( {\cos {{150}^ \circ } + i\sin {{150}^ \circ }} \right)}}{{2\left( {\cos {{120}^ \circ } + i\sin {{120}^ \circ }} \right)}} \cr & {\text{Using the Quotient Theorem}} \cr & = \frac{4}{2}\left[ {\cos \left( {{{150}^ \circ } - {{120}^ \circ }} \right) + i\sin \left( {{{150}^ \circ } - {{120}^ \circ }} \right)} \right] \cr & {\text{Simplify}} \cr & = 2\left[ {\cos \left( {{{30}^ \circ }} \right) + i\sin \left( {{{30}^ \circ }} \right)} \right] \cr & {\text{Write in Rectangular form}} \cr & = 2\left( {\frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} + i\left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)} \right) \cr & = \sqrt 3 + i \cr} $$
