Answer

$z_{1}z_{2}=8(\cos 150^{o}+i\sin 150^{o})$ $\displaystyle \frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=2(\cos 90^{o}+i\sin 90^{o})$

Work Step by Step

See p. 605, If the two complex numbers $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ have the polar forms If $z_{1}=r_{1}(\cos\theta_{1}+i\sin\theta_{1})$, $z_{2}=r_{2}(\cos\theta_{2}+i\sin\theta_{2})$, then $z_{1}z_{2}=r_{1}r_{2}[\cos(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})+i\sin(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})]$ $\displaystyle \frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}[\cos(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2})+i\sin(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2})],\quad z_{2}\neq 0$ ---------- $r_{1}r_{2}=4\cdot 2=8,$ $120^{o}+30^{o}=150^{o},$ $ \displaystyle \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{4}{2}=2$ $120^{o}+30^{o}=90^{o},$ $z_{1}z_{2}=8(\cos 150^{o}+i\sin 150^{o})$ $\displaystyle \frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=2(\cos 90^{o}+i\sin 90^{o})$
