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^@)]#
