color(maroon)(=> -0.8 + 2.6 i), II QUADRANT

Explanation:

z_1 / z_2 = (r_1 / r_2) (cos (theta_1 - theta_2) + i sin (theta_1 - theta_2))

z_1 = 7 + 5 i, z_2 = 1 - 3 i

r_1 = sqrt(7^2 + 5^2)^2) = sqrt 74

theta_1 = tan ^ -1 (5 / 7) = 35.5377^@ = , " I Quadrant"

r_2 = sqrt(1^2 + (-3)^2) = sqrt 10

theta_2 = tan ^-1 (-3/ 1) ~~ 288.4349^@, " IV Quadrant"

z_1 / z_2 = sqrt(74 / 10) (cos (35.5377 - 288.4349) + i sin (35.5377 - 288.4349))
