The problem involves determining the complex numbers represented by points $C$ and $D$ in the Argand diagram of a square $ABCD$. We are given:

• $A$ represents the complex number $-1 + 4i$
• $B$ represents the complex number $-3 + 0i$

Steps:

1. Vector Representation of $AB$:
   The vector from $B$ to $A$ is: $AB = A - B = (-1 + 4i) - (-3 + 0i) = 2 + 4i$

2. Rotation by 90° to Find the Other Vectors: To move from one vertex of a square to the next, we rotate the vector by 90°. A 90° rotation of a vector in the complex plane is equivalent to multiplying by $i$. So, multiplying $2 + 4i$ by $i$: $(2 + 4i) \cdot i = 2i - 4 = -4 + 2i$

3. Determine $BC$ (from $B$ to $C$): The vector $BC$ is obtained by adding this result to $B$: $C = B + (-4 + 2i) = (-3 + 0i) + (-4 + 2i) = -7 + 2i$

4. Determine $DA$ (from $A$ to $D$): Next, we rotate the vector $AB$ by another 90° to find the vector from $A$ to $D$. Another 90° rotation means multiplying $-4 + 2i$ by $i$: $(-4 + 2i) \cdot i = -2 - 4i$ Now, the position of $D$ is: $D = A + (-2 - 4i) = (-1 + 4i) + (-2 - 4i) = -3 + 0i$

   But since this brings us back to point $B$, we realize we should rotate the original vector $AB$ by 90 degrees back.
