Showing your working, verify that 1  i is one of the complex roots.
b) On a sketch of an Argand diagram, show the point representing the
complex number 1  i . On the same diagram, shade the region whose
points represent the complex numbers z which satisfy both the
1
inequalities z  1  i  1 and arg z   .
