The complex number u is defined by
\(u = \frac{7+i}{1-i}\).
(a) Express u in the form \(x + iy\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are real.
(b) Show on a sketch of an Argand diagram the points A, B and C representing u, \(7 + i\) and \(1 - i\) respectively.
(c) By considering the arguments of \(7 + i\) and \(1 - i\), show that
\(\arctan\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) = \arctan\left(\frac{1}{7}\right) + \frac{1}{4}\pi\).
