Answer

$13.5747+24.4894i$

Work Step by Step

First, we use the product theorem to multiply the absolute values and add the arguments: $(4$ cis $19.25^{\circ})(7$ cis $41.75^{\circ})$ $=4(7)$ cis $(19.25^{\circ}+41.75^{\circ})$ $=28$ cis $(61.0^{\circ})$ Next, we change the expression into its equivalent form: $=28$ cis $(61.0^{\circ})$ $=28 (\cos 61^{\circ}+i\sin 61^{\circ})$ Then, we use the calculator to solve the functions of $\cos$ and $\sin$ and simplify the expression: $28 (\cos 61^{\circ}+i\sin 61^{\circ})$ =$28 [0.484807+i(0.874620)]$ =$13.5747+24.4894i$
