Question

Given z1 and z2 below. Calculate z1/z2 and write your answer in rcistheta form.

Answer 1

Answer:

  (2/9)cis(30°)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can express the two numbers in magnitude∠angle form, then find their ratio.

  |z1| = 3√((-1)² +(√3)²) = 3√4 = 6

  ∠z1 = arctan((3√3)/(-3)) = -arctan(√3) = 120°

  z2 = 27∠90°

So, the ratio is ...

  z1/z2 = (6∠120°)/(27∠90°) = (6/27)∠(120°-90°)

  z1/z2 = (2/9)∠30°
