The result of division is 1/53( -13+34i)
Its trignometrical form (sqrt1325)/53 (-13/sqrt1325 +34/sqrt1325 i)

Explanation:

First of all multiply the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of denominator.

((1+7i)(9+5i))/((9-5i)(9+5i))= (-26+68i)/106

=1/53( -13+34i)

Now Modulus would be sqrt (13^2 +34^2)=sqrt1325

The number can now be written as (sqrt1325)/53 (-13/sqrt1325 +34/sqrt1325 i)

The number now is in trignometrical form its Modulus is sqrt1325 /53 and arg is tan^-1 (34/(-13))
