Figure 1

Figure 1 shows an Argand diagram.

The set P, of points that lie within the shaded region including its boundaries, is defined by

P = {z ∈  : a  ½ z + b + ci ½  d }

where a, b, c and d are integers.

(a) Write down the values of a, b, c and d.
(3)
The set Q is defined by

Q = {z ∈  : a  ½ z + b + ci ½  d } ∩ {z ∈  : ½ z – i ½  ½ z – 3i ½}

(b) Determine the exact area of the region defined by Q, giving your answer in
simplest form.
