Answer

$z_{1}z_{2}=\displaystyle \frac{4}{25}(\cos 180^{o}+i\sin 180^{o})$ $\displaystyle \frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=4(\cos(-130^{o})+i\sin(-130^{o}))$

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 $z_{1}z_{2}=r_{1}r_{2}[\cos(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})+i\sin(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})]$ $\displaystyle \frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=\frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}[\cos(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2})+i\sin(\theta_{1}-\theta_{2})],\quad z_{2}\neq 0$ ---------- $r_{1}r_{2}=\displaystyle \frac{4}{5}\cdot\frac{1}{5}=\frac{4}{25},$ $25^{o}+155^{o}=180^{o}$ $ \displaystyle \frac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}=\frac{\frac{4}{5}}{\frac{1}{5}}=4$ $25^{o}-155^{o}=-130^{o}$ $z_{1}z_{2}=\displaystyle \frac{4}{25}(\cos 180^{o}+i\sin 180^{o})$ $\displaystyle \frac{z_{1}}{z_{2}}=4(\cos(-130^{o})+i\sin(-130^{o}))$
