Final Answer: The polar form of the product of \(z\) and \(w\) is \(\boxed{16\left(\cos \frac{13\pi}{42} + i \sin \frac{13\pi}{42}\right)}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given two complex numbers in polar form: \(z=4\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{6}+i \sin \frac{\pi}{6}\right)\) and \(w=4\left(\cos \frac{\pi}{7}+i \sin \frac{\pi}{7}\right)\)

Step 2 :The product of two complex numbers in polar form is given by multiplying their magnitudes and adding their angles.

Step 3 :First, calculate the product of the magnitudes: \(4 \times 4 = 16\)

Step 4 :Next, add the angles: \(\frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{7} = \frac{13\pi}{42}\)

Step 5 :Therefore, the product of \(z\) and \(w\) in polar form is \(16\left(\cos \frac{13\pi}{42} + i \sin \frac{13\pi}{42}\right)\)

Step 6 :Final Answer: The polar form of the product of \(z\) and \(w\) is \(\boxed{16\left(\cos \frac{13\pi}{42} + i \sin \frac{13\pi}{42}\right)}\)
