The complex number \((\sqrt{3}) + i\) is denoted by \(u\).
- Express \(u\) in the form \(re^{i\theta}\), where \(r > 0\) and \(-\pi < \theta \leq \pi\), giving the exact values of \(r\) and \(\theta\). Hence or otherwise state the exact values of the modulus and argument of \(u^4\).
- Verify that \(u\) is a root of the equation \(z^3 - 8z + 8\sqrt{3} = 0\) and state the other complex root of this equation.
- On a sketch of an Argand diagram, shade the region whose points represent complex numbers \(z\) satisfying the inequalities \(|z - u| \leq 2\) and \(\text{Im } z \geq 2\), where \(\text{Im } z\) denotes the imaginary part of \(z\).
