TopicComplex Numbers Argand & Loci

6 Throughout this question, the complex number \(z\) satisfies \(\left| z - z _ { 0 } \right| \leq \sqrt { 2 }\), where \(z _ { 0 } = 3 - \mathrm { i }\).
  1. Draw an Argand diagram to illustrate the locus of \(z\).
  2. In this question you must show detailed reasoning. Show that the greatest possible argument of \(z\) can be written as \(\tan ^ { - 1 } \left( \frac { 1 } { n } \right)\), where \(n\) is a positive integer to be determined and \(\arg z \in ( - \pi , \pi ]\).
