I have attached the question and my answer. The modulus of u and u^2 and the argument of u is right according the mark scheme. Can you tell me what is wrong with the argument of u^2?
The answer of argument of u^2 is pi/2
I am really grateful for all the help. Thank you so much!!

I think they want the ar in the range 0 to 2pi.
So do 2pi+(-3pi/2)=pi/2

Thank you for the help =)
Just to confirm... Since it is not stated here, should I assume that for such questions, I should give my
answer between 0 and 2pi.
Thanks again.

Yes I would. Since they did not tell you to give your answe between o and 2pi, -3/2pi should get full marks too.
