TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci
TypeIntersection of two loci
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward Further Maths FP1 loci question requiring students to sketch a circle and a half-line, then identify their intersections. While it involves multiple parts and requires understanding of modulus-argument geometry, the techniques are standard and the geometric reasoning is direct with no algebraic complexity or novel insight required.

2 Indicate on a single Argand diagram
  1. the set of points for which \(| z - ( - 3 + 2 \mathrm { j } ) | = 2\),
  2. the set of points for which \(\arg ( z - 2 \mathrm { j } ) = \pi\),
  3. the two points for which \(| z - ( - 3 + 2 \mathrm { j } ) | = 2\) and \(\arg ( z - 2 \mathrm { j } ) = \pi\).
