Math Notes

Products and Quotients of Complex Numbers in Polar Form

Given two complex numbers $z_1 = r_1(\cos(a) + i \sin(a))$ and $z_2 = r_2(\cos(b) + i \sin(b))$ .

The product of the two numbers is $z_1z_2 = r_1r_2(\cos(a + b) + i \sin(a + b))$ .

The quotient of the two numbers is $\frac { z _ { 1 } } { z _ { 2 } } = \frac { r _ { 1 } } { r _ { 2 } }(\cos(a − b) + i \sin(a − b))$ .
