3. (a) Express the complex number \(- 2 + ( 2 \sqrt { 3 } ) \mathrm { i }\) in the form \(r ( \cos \theta + \mathrm { i } \sin \theta ) , - \pi < \theta \leqslant \pi\).
(b) Solve the equation
$$z ^ { 4 } = - 2 + ( 2 \sqrt { } 3 ) i$$
giving the roots in the form \(r ( \cos \theta + \mathrm { i } \sin \theta ) , - \pi < \theta \leqslant \pi\).
