Answer

$\frac{2(cos60^\circ + isin60^\circ)}{8(cos300^\circ + isin300^\circ)}$ = $-\frac{1}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}i$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{2(cos60^\circ + isin60^\circ)}{8(cos300^\circ + isin300^\circ)}$ = $\frac{2}{8} [cos(60^\circ - 300^\circ) + isin(60^\circ - 300^\circ)]$ (Quotient Theorem) = $\frac{1}{4} [cos(-240^\circ) + isin(-240^\circ)]$ = $\frac{1}{4} (-\frac{1}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}i)$ = $-\frac{1}{8} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}i$
