17 Division of Complex Numbers in Polar Form
Dividing two complex numbers involves dividing their moduli and subtracting their arguments. An animation (using GeoGebra) is used to illustrate these ideas.
Detailed solutions of the following examples are given:
1. Use polar forms to show that i/-i = -1
2. For z=1 and w=1-i use polar forms to evaluate z/w.
3. Let z=-1+√3i and w=-√3-i
(a) Give the polar forms of z and w.
(b) Use your part (a) answer to evaluate z/w.
(c) Obtain your part (b) answer without using polar forms.
The viewer is encouraged to attempt these questions before watching the solutions.
