AS June 2022 Q1
1. Sketch on an Argand diagram the region defined by
\[\left\{z \in \mathbb{C} : -\frac{\pi}{4} \lt \arg(z + 2) \lt \frac{\pi}{4}\right\} \cap \left\{z \in \mathbb{C} : -1 \lt \mathrm{Re}(z) \leqslant 1\right\}\]On your sketch
- shade the part of the diagram that is included in the region
- use solid lines to show the parts of the boundary that are included in the region
- use dashed lines to show the parts of the boundary that are not included in the region

Notes
M1: Draws or identifies a sector, or relevant part thereof, spanning from either ±2 or ±2i.
M1: Either a vertical or horizontal strip drawn or identified, with lines either imaginary or real axis.
A1: Correct sector and strip – so starting sector from −2 on negative real axis, with vertical strip about imaginary axis approximately halfway on real axis between start of sector and \(O\). Sector at \(\pm 45^\circ\) (do not worry about the boundary lines for this mark). The strip must be roughly even spaced either side of the imaginary axis, and the sector roughly symmetric in the real axis (allow small tolerance, but A0 if clearly not symmetric)
A1: Inside strip and sector shaded, with correct boundary lines.
