Answer

$z_{1}z_{2}=-3+3i$

Work Step by Step

$z_{1}z_{2}=(1+i)(3i)=3i+3i^{2}=3i-3=-3+3i$ $z_{1}$ in trigonometric form is $1+i=\sqrt {2}(\cos\frac{\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{4})$ $z_{2}$ in trigonometric form is $3i=3(\cos \frac{\pi}{2}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{2})$ Applying the formula $(r_{1}\,cis\,\theta_{1})(r_{2}\,cis\,\theta_{2})=r_{1}r_{2}\,cis\,(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})$, we get $z_{1}z_{2}=[\sqrt {2}(\cos\frac{\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{4})][3(\cos \frac{\pi}{2}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{2})]$ $=\sqrt {2}\cdot3[\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{2})+i\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{2})]$ $=3\sqrt {2}(\cos \frac{3\pi}{4}+i\sin \frac{3\pi}{4})$ In standard form, our result is $=3\sqrt {2}(-\frac{\sqrt {2}}{2}+i\cdot\frac{\sqrt 2}{2})=-3+3i$
