I found: z=3i=3[cos(90^@)+isin(90^@)]

Explanation:

We can find the position of your number on the complex plane:

We have that:
z=3i=rho[cos(theta)+isin(theta)] in trigonometric form, where:
rho= modulus, the distance from the origin to your point; in this case: rho=3
theta= angle with the horizontal Real positive semi-axis; in this case: theta=90^@.
So you get:
z=3i=3[cos(90^@)+isin(90^@)]
