TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

7 The complex number \(u\) is given by \(u = - 1 + ( 4 \sqrt { } 3 ) \mathrm { i }\).
  1. Without using a calculator and showing all your working, find the two square roots of \(u\). Give your answers in the form \(a + \mathrm { i } b\), where the real numbers \(a\) and \(b\) are exact.
  2. On an Argand diagram, sketch the locus of points representing complex numbers \(z\) satisfying the relation \(| z - u | = 1\). Determine the greatest value of \(\arg z\) for points on this locus.
    \(8 \quad\) Let \(f ( x ) = \frac { 5 x ^ { 2 } + x + 6 } { ( 3 - 2 x ) \left( x ^ { 2 } + 4 \right) }\).
