$(1+7i)(-3+2i) ~~ 25.495 (cos 228.18+isin228.18)$

$Z= (1+7i)(-3+2i) = (-3+2i-21i+14i^2)$

$=-3-19i-14 = -17-19i [i^2= -1]$

$Z$ lies on $3rd$ quadrant

Modulus $|Z|=r=sqrt((-17)^2+ (-19)^2) ~~25.495$ ;

$tan alpha =b/a= (-19)/-17 ~~ 1.1176 :. alpha =tan^-1(1.1176) ~~ 48.18^0$

Since $Z$ is on $3rd$ quadrant $:. theta=pi+alpha$ or

$theta= 180+48.18= 228.18^0$ . Argument : $theta =228.18^0$

In trigonometric form expressed as $r(cos theta+isintheta)$

$= 25.495 (cos 228.18+isin228.18)$

$:. (1+7i)(-3+2i) ~~ 25.495 (cos 228.18+isin228.18)$ [Ans]
