can someone show me the working for the following questions...?

1. On an argand diagram the points A and B represent the complex numbers z1 = i and z2 = 1/√2(1 + i). Show that arg(z1 + z2) = 3π/8

2. Use the vector representation of z1 and z2 on an Argand diagram to show that
a) If |z1| = |z2| ,then (z1 + z2)/(z1 - z2) is imaginary

b) If 0 < arg z2 < arg z1 <
π/2, andarg (z1 - z2) - arg(z1 - z2) = π/2


THANKS ^^

do u mean arg(z1 + z2) = 3π/8?

bit rusty on argand diagrams but ill give it a shot

1. arg(z1+z2)= arg(i+(1/rt2)+i(1/rt2))
=arg ((1/rt2) + i(1+rt2/rt))
= tan-1(1+rt2)
=3pi/8

2.a) let O be origin, A be z1, B be z1+z2, Cbe z2
if |z1|=|z2| then OABC is a rhombus
therefore the diagonals intersect at right angles
so z1+z2= ki(z1-z2)
so (z1+z2)/(z1-z2) = ki(z1-z2)/(z1-z2) = ki which is imaginary

b) whats the question?

somebodytell me if im wrong cause i havent done a question like this since last year

ekk let me reword 2b) If 0 < arg z2 < arg z1 < π/2, andarg (z1 - z2) - arg(z1 - z2) = π/2, prove that |z1| = |z2|

ok so that means the diagonals of the parallelogram OABC intersect at right angles, meaning the that the parallelogram is a rhombus
and a rhombus has equal sides
therefore |z1|=|z2|

EDIT: wait is one of those supposed to be arg(z1+z2)?
cause thats what i did

so if its not totally disregard this working
