Answer

$z_{1}z_{2}=-4+4i=4\sqrt {2}(\cos \frac{3\pi}{4}+i\sin \frac{3\pi}{4})$

Work Step by Step

$z_{1}z_{2}=(1+i)(4i)=4i+4i^{2}=4i-4=-4+4i$ $z_{1}$ in trigonometric form is $1+i=\sqrt {2}(\cos\frac{\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{4})$ $z_{2}$ in trigonometric form is $4i=4(\cos \frac{\pi}{2}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{2})$ Applying the formula $(r_{1}\,cis\,\theta_{1})(r_{2}\,cis\,\theta_{2})=r_{1}r_{2}\,cis\,(\theta_{1}+\theta_{2})$, we get $z_{1}z_{2}=[\sqrt {2}(\cos\frac{\pi}{4}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{4})][4(\cos \frac{\pi}{2}+i\sin\frac{\pi}{2})]$ $=\sqrt {2}\cdot4[\cos(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{2})+i\sin(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\pi}{2})]$ $=4\sqrt {2}(\cos \frac{3\pi}{4}+i\sin \frac{3\pi}{4})$ $=4\sqrt {2}(-\frac{\sqrt {2}}{2}+i\cdot\frac{\sqrt 2}{2})=-4+4i$
