Answer

$z=2\displaystyle \sqrt{2}(\cos\frac{3\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{3\pi}{4})$

Work Step by Step

See p. 604, A complex number $z=a+bi$ has the polar (or trigonometric) form $z=r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta)$ where $r=|z|=\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}}$ and $\tan\theta=b/a$. The number $r$ is the modulus of $z$, and $\theta$ is an argument of $z$. ------- $z=2i(1+i)=2i+2i^{2}=-2+2i$ lies in Q.II. $r=|z|=\sqrt{(-2)^{2}+(2)^{2}}=\sqrt{8}=2\sqrt{2}$ $\tan\theta =\displaystyle \frac{2}{-2}=-1$ In Q.I,$\quad \displaystyle \tan(\frac{\pi}{4}) =1,$ In Q.II,$\quad \displaystyle \tan(\frac{3\pi}{4}) =-1,$ So, $z=2\displaystyle \sqrt{2}(\cos\frac{3\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{3\pi}{4})$
