Answer

$\frac{w}{z}$ = $2\sqrt{3} + 2i$

Work Step by Step

$w = 12(cos80^\circ + isin80^\circ) = 12cis80^\circ$ $z = 3(cos50^\circ + isin50^\circ) = 3cis50^\circ$ Now, $\frac{w}{z}$ = $\frac{12cis80^\circ}{ 3cis50^\circ}$ = $\frac{12}{3} \cdot cis(80^\circ - 50^\circ)$ (Quotient Theorem) = $4cis30^\circ$ = $4(cos30^\circ + isin30^\circ)$ = $4(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} i)$ = $2\sqrt{3} + 2i$
