The trigonometric form is 2sqrt2(cos(pi/4)+isin(pi/4))22(cos(π4)+isin(π4))

Explanation:

Let z=2+2iz=2+2i
To calculate the trigonomrtric version, we need to calculate the modulus of the complex number.

If z=a+ibz=a+ib then the modulus is ∣z∣=sqrt(a^2+b^2)z=a2+b2

So here ∣z∣=sqrt(2^2+2^2)=2sqrt2z=22+22=22
Then z/(∣z∣)=1/sqrt2+(i)/sqrt2zz=12+i2

tHen we compare this to z=r(costheta+isintheta)z=r(cosθ+isinθ)

and we get costheta=1/sqrt2cosθ=12
and sintheta=1/sqrt2sinθ=12

so, theta=pi/4θ=π4
and the trigonometric form is 2sqrt2(cos(pi/4)+isin(pi/4)22(cos(π4)+isin(π4)

And the exponential form is z=2sqrt2e^(ipi/4)z=22eiπ4
