The complex number u is defined by
\(u = \frac{1 + 2i}{1 - 3i}\).
- Express u in the form x + iy, where x and y are real. [3]
- Show on a sketch of an Argand diagram the points A, B and C representing the complex numbers u, 1 + 2i and 1 - 3i respectively. [2]
- By considering the arguments of 1 + 2i and 1 - 3i, show that \(\arctan 2 + \arctan 3 = \frac{3}{4} \pi\). [3]
