The complex number with modulus 1 and argument \(\frac{1}{3} \pi\) is denoted by \(w\).

(i) Express \(w\) in the form \(x + iy\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are real and exact. [1]

The complex number \(1 + 2i\) is denoted by \(u\). The complex number \(v\) is such that \(|v| = 2|u|\) and \(\arg v = \arg u + \frac{1}{3} \pi\).

(ii) Sketch an Argand diagram showing the points representing \(u\) and \(v\). [2]

(iii) Explain why \(v\) can be expressed as \(2uw\). Hence find \(v\), giving your answer in the form \(a + ib\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are real and exact. [4]

(a) Find the complex number \(z\) satisfying the equation

\(z + \frac{iz}{z^*} - 2 = 0,\)

where \(z^*\) denotes the complex conjugate of \(z\). Give your answer in the form \(x + iy\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are real.

(b) (i) On a single Argand diagram sketch the loci given by the equations \(|z - 2i| = 2\) and \(\text{Im} \, z = 3\), where \(\text{Im} \, z\) denotes the imaginary part of \(z\).

(ii) In the first quadrant the two loci intersect at the point \(P\). Find the exact argument of the complex number represented by \(P\).

(a) The complex number u is given by u = -3 - (2\sqrt{10})i. Showing all necessary working and without using a calculator, find the square roots of u. Give your answers in the form a + ib, where the numbers a and b are real and exact.

(b) On a sketch of an Argand diagram shade the region whose points represent complex numbers z satisfying the inequalities |z - 3 - i| \leq 3, arg z \geq \frac{1}{4}\pi and Im z \geq 2, where Im z denotes the imaginary part of the complex number z.
