Let u=−8+83 iu=-8+8\sqrt{3}\,i

(a)

Express uu in the form r(cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ)r(\cos\theta+i\sin\theta) where r>0r>0 and 0≤θ<2π0\leq\theta<2\pi

[2]
(b)

Hence, or otherwise, determine both square roots of uu giving your answers in the form a+bia+bi

[3]
(c)

A polynomial with real coefficients has 2+23 i2+2\sqrt{3}\,i as a root. State the other root in its conjugate pair and hence determine the monic quadratic factor associated with this pair.
