(b) (i) On a sketch of an Argand diagram, shade the region whose points represent complex
numbers satisfying the inequalities Ï − 2 − i ≤ 1 and Ï − i ≤ Ï − 2. [5]
(ii) Calculate the maximum value of arg Ï for points lying in the shaded region. [2]
5 The complex number 2 + i is denoted by u. Its complex conjugate is denoted by u*.
