  1. Express \({{\left( 3-\mathrm{i} \right)}^{2}}\) in the form of \(a+\mathrm{i}b\).[1]
    Hence or otherwise find the roots of the equation
    \({{\left( z+\mathrm{i} \right)}^{2}}=-8+6\mathrm{i}\).[3]
  2. Given that \({{z}_{1}}=2-4\mathbf{i}\) and \({{z}_{2}}=-2-\mathbf{i}\), find
    1. \(\left| {{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}} \right|\). [2]
    2. \(\arg ({{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}})\). [2]
