Answer

Final Answer: \(\boxed{\frac{4}{3} \operatorname{cis}(44^\circ)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The problem is asking to divide two complex numbers in polar form. The polar form of a complex number is \(r(\cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta))\), which can also be written as \(r \operatorname{cis}(\theta)\).

Step 2 :When dividing two complex numbers in polar form, we divide the magnitudes and subtract the angles.

Step 3 :So, we need to divide 4 by 3 and subtract 108 degrees from 152 degrees.

Step 4 :Calculate the magnitude: \(\frac{4}{3} = 1.3333333333333333\)

Step 5 :Calculate the angle: \(152^\circ - 108^\circ = 44^\circ\)

Step 6 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\frac{4}{3} \operatorname{cis}(44^\circ)}\)
