Question 2

Consider the complex number \( z = -3 + 4i \). (a) State which set(s) this number belongs to by using correct set notation from: \(\mathbb{N}\), \(\mathbb{Z}\), \(\mathbb{Q}\), \(\mathbb{R}\), \(\mathbb{C}\). (b) Determine the values of \(a\) and \(b\) such that \( z^2 = a + bi \) where \( a, b \in \mathbb{R} \). (c) Show that \( z^2 \in \mathbb{C} \setminus \mathbb{R} \).
