Complex products and quotients using polar

For each pair of complex numbers $z$ and $w$, compute:

$$zw,\frac{z}{w},\frac{1}{z}$$

(a) $z=1+\sqrt{3}i,w=\sqrt{3}+i$

(b) $z=2\sqrt{3}-2i,w=6i$

(Use $\mathrm{cis}$ notation throughout this problem including for your answer. You may optionally convert your final answer to Cartesian.)

Complex powers using polar

Using De Moivre’s Theorem, write each number in the form $a+bi$.

(a) $(1+i{)}^{16}$ (b) $(\sqrt{3}-i{)}^5$

(First convert to polar/exponential, then compute the power, then convert back.)

02

Complex roots using polar

Find each of the indicated roots.

(a) The four $4^{\text{th}}$ roots of $1$.

(b) The three cube ($3^{\text{rd}}$) roots of $\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{2}i$.

Try to write your answer in $a+bi$ form if that is not hard, otherwise leave it in polar form.
