  1. Write down the equation of the locus of \(C\) in the form $$| z - w | = a$$ where \(w\) is a complex number whose real and imaginary parts are integers, and \(a\) is an integer.
    17
  2. It is given that \(z _ { 1 }\) is a complex number representing a point on \(C\). Of all the complex numbers which represent points on \(C , z _ { 1 }\) has the least argument. 17
    1. Find \(\left| z _ { 1 } \right|\)
      Give your answer in an exact form.
      17
  3. (ii) Show that \(\arg z _ { 1 } = \arcsin \left( \frac { 6 \sqrt { 3 } - 2 } { 13 } \right)\)
