Do not use a calculator in answering this question.

The complex number \(z\) is such that \(|z|=\sqrt{10}\) and \(\arg(z)=-\tan^{-1}3\).

  1. Find \(z\) in the form \(a+bi\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are integers.[2]
  2. In an Argand diagram, \(O\) is the origin and the point \(A\) represents \(z\). The points \(B\) and \(C\) are such that \(OABC\) is a rectangle described in an anti-clockwise sense and \(OC=2OA\). Find the complex numbers represented by \(B\) and \(C\).[4]
