(b) There is a unique complex number \(w\) that satisfies both
$$| w - 3 | = 2 \quad \text { and } \quad \arg ( w + 1 ) = \alpha$$
where \(\alpha\) is a constant such that \(0 < \alpha < \pi\)
(b) (i) Find the value of \(\alpha\).
(b) (ii) Express \(w\) in the form \(r ( \cos \theta + \mathrm { i } \sin \theta )\).
