IF z be a complex number number satisfying
z 4 + z 3 + 2 z 2 + z + 1 = 0
Then ∣ z ∣ = ?

The problem is seriously over-rated. Should be Level 2.

@Satvik Golechha – Try my new problem @Satvik Golechha ''my problems 2"
@Krishna Ar – It's not that. I call it overrated because it has such an easy and obvious solution.

Note that
z 4 + z 3 + 2 z 2 + z + 1 = z 4 + z 3 + z 2 + z 2 + z + 1 = ( z 2 + 1 ) ( z 2 + z + 1 ) = 0
Case 1 : z 2 + 1 = 0
In this case, z = ± i .
∣ ± i ∣ = 1
Case 2 : z 2 + z + 1 = 0
In this case, z = 2 ⋅ 1 − 1 ± 1 2 − 4 ⋅ 1 ⋅ 1 = 2 − 1 ± 3 i
∣ 2 − 1 ± 3 i ∣ = 1
Therefore, ∣ z ∣ = 1 .
