Do not use a calculator in answering this question.

The point \(P\) represents the complex number \(z=-2+b\,\mathbf{i}\), where \(b>0\). The line \(OP\) makes an angle of \({{45}^{{}^\circ }}\) with the horizontal.

  1. State the value of \(b\).[1]
  2. Hence find the modulus and argument of \(\frac{1}{z}\).[2]
  3. Show on an Argand diagram the points \(P\), \(Q\) and \(R\) representing the complex numbers \(z\), \(\frac{1}{z}\) and \(z+\frac{1}{z}\) respectively. Indicate on your diagram the value of \(\angle PRQ\).[3]
