The complex numbers \(-1 + 3i\) and \(2 - i\) are denoted by \(u\) and \(v\) respectively. In an Argand diagram with origin \(O\), the points \(A, B\) and \(C\) represent the numbers \(u, v\) and \(u + v\) respectively.

  1. Sketch this diagram and state fully the geometrical relationship between \(OB\) and \(AC\).
  2. Find, in the form \(x + iy\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are real, the complex number \(\frac{u}{v}\).
  3. Prove that angle \(AOB = \frac{3}{4}\pi\).
