1. Problem Description
We are asked to find the standard form of the product of two complex numbers: and .
2. Solution Steps
First, let's write the two complex numbers as and .
We can find the product of and by multiplying their magnitudes and adding their angles.
The magnitude of is and the magnitude of is . Therefore, the magnitude of the product is .
The angle of is and the angle of is . Therefore, the angle of the product is .
So, the product is .
Since and , the product is .
Alternatively, we can use Euler's formula: .
Then and .
The product .
