Complex Numbers in Polar Form; DeMoivre’s Theorem
Find the quotient $z_{1} / z_{2}$ in standard form. Then write $z_{1}$ and $z_{2}$ in trigonometric form and find their quotient again. Finally, convert the answer that is in trigonometric form to standard form to show that the two quotients are equal. $$z_{1}=\sqrt{3}+i, z_{2}=2 i$$
