Represent the set {z : |z - 1| = 2 and Re z less then or equal to 0} on an Argand Diagram.
I have never come across this type of question. Any hints on how to tackle it?

{z : |z - 1| = 2} ..... The distance of z from 1 is always equal to 2. Geometrically then z lies on a circle of radius 2 and centre at z = 1.
{z : Re z less then or equal to 0} ..... You have the left half of the complex plane (the part to the left of the Im(z) axis).
Put the two together and look for the overlap ......
This is a standard problem about loci in the complex plane. Are you familiar with the following ?
describes a circle at the origin of radius r
describes a circle with centre
and radius r
is the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the points
and
If you know this problem should be very easy, otherwise using the information I gave you attempt the problem and let me know I you have any issues.

Ahh thanks
