Answer

$-3-2i\sqrt 3$

Work Step by Step

First, we use the product theorem to multiply the absolute values and add the arguments: $(3$ cis $135^{\circ})(2$ cis $105^{\circ})$ $=3(2)$ cis $(135^{\circ}+105^{\circ})$ $=6$ cis $(240^{\circ})$ Next, we change the expression into its equivalent form: $=6$ cis $(240^{\circ})$ $=6 (\cos 240^{\circ}+i\sin 240^{\circ})$ Then, we use the calculator to solve the functions of $\cos$ and $\sin$ and simplify the expression: $=6 (\cos 240^{\circ}+i\sin 240^{\circ})$ =$6 [-\frac{1}{2}+i(-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2})]$ =$-\frac{6}{2}+6i(-\frac{\sqrt 3}{2})$ =$-\frac{6}{2}-\frac{6i\sqrt 3}{2}$ =$-3-2i\sqrt 3$
