Great solution. Sir,your solution is always different. Please see my solution and tell me how is it.

Your solution depends knowing the fact that x = ± 2 i satisfy the equation before hand.

I am not claiming that i know that the equation is satisfied for those two values.Can't we say that the value of x can be any number? Because when we plot the graph,it is for all values of x (even in Argand plane)

@Saarthak Marathe – It's alright to have solved the values of x beforehand. But you're wrong that x = 2 i or x = − 2 i . So your entire solution is wrong.
Chew-Seong Cheong's approach is the most standard approach. But there's still a much simpler approach. Starting with f ( x ) = x 5 + x + 1 , then g ( x ) = f ( x ) and h ( x ) = g ( x − 2 ) .

@Pi Han Goh – I am not saying that x = 2 i or x = − 2 i are roots of the equation . Please elaborate why I am wrong. I don't think my approach is wrong.

@Saarthak Marathe – You said "This equation will be satisfied for x = 2 i and x = − 2 i ".

@Pi Han Goh – Please read the changes that I have made in that statement.

@Saarthak Marathe – Yep it's correct now. It would be better to explain why you you x = 2 i and x = − 2 i .
@Pi Han Goh – can you please elaborate how did you solve this phi han goh i also tried your method but was stuck at (x-2)^5/2 + (x-2)^1/2 + 1=0

@Somesh Patil – Hint; Start by writing a 5th degree polynomial such that it has roots x 1 2 , x 2 2 , … , x 5 2 .
@Pi Han Goh – You are talking of solution I had posted right?
That needs some patience :)
sir, i have a doubt. given eqn is satisfied by 'W'( read omega ) also, where W is cube root of unity, means solution of eqn X^3 = 1. we know that W^3=1 and 1+W+W^2 =0, so W^5 = W^2. so given eqn becomes 1+x+x^5 = 1+W+ W^5 = 1+W+W^2=0. similarly W^2 , W^4, W^5, and W^8 will also satisfy given equation. why can't i take W as one of the root.

Clearly ω a n d ω 2 are the roots of the given equation (see the factorization).
btw you can check my solution in which there is no need of finding the roots
Note that 1 is not a root of x 2 + x + 1 = 0 and ω 3 = 1 , therefore, ω 3 is not a root of x 2 + x + 1 = 0 . The roots x 1 and x 2 are ω and ω 2 .
Cool observation. Sir
can you tell me how you have factorised it

First we assume that x 5 + x + 1 = ( x 2 + a x + 1 ) ( x 3 + b x 2 + c x + 1 ) . Expand out the RHS and then equate the coefficients.

Did it the same way! upvoted
This is better way then other tedious methods.
The given equation can be written as, x 5 + x + 1 = ( x − x 1 ) ( x − x 2 ) . . . . ( x − x 5 )
The above equation is satisfied for all values of x as the graph of this function is for all values of x . Therefore, This equation will be satisfied for x = 2 i and x = − 2 i
Take x = 2 i
Therefore, 2 5 ∗ i 5 + 2 i + 1 = ( 2 i − x 1 ) . . . . . . ( 2 i − x 5 ) = 5 2 i + 1
Take x = − 2 i
Therefore, − 2 5 ∗ i 5 − 2 i + 1 = ( − 2 i − x 1 ) . . . . . . ( − 2 i − x 5 ) = − 5 2 i + 1
Multiplying both the equations we get, − [ ( 2 i − x 1 ) ( 2 i + x 1 ) . . . . . . . . . ( 2 i − x 5 ) ( 2 i + x 5 ) = ( 5 2 i + 1 ) ( − 5 2 i + 1 )
Simplifying this equation we get that, ( 2 + x 1 2 ) . . . . . . . ( 2 + x 5 2 ) = 1 − ( − 2 5 ∗ 2 ) = 5 1

Let's denote S 1 = x 1 + x 2 + x 3 + x 4 + x 5 , S 2 = x 1 x 2 + x 1 x 3 + . . . , S 3 = x 1 x 2 x 3 + x 1 x 2 x 4 + . . . , S 4 = x 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 + . . . and S 5 = x 1 x 2 x 3 x 4 x 5 . From Vieta's formulae we have S 1 = S 2 = S 3 = 0 , S 4 = 1 and S 5 = − 1 .
We want to evaluate: ∏ k = 1 5 ( x k 2 + 2 ) .
Considering i as imaginary unit:
∏ k = 1 5 ( x k 2 + 2 ) = ∏ k = 1 5 ( x k + i 2 ) ( x k − i 2 ) = ∏ k = 1 5 ( x k + i 2 ) ∏ k = 1 5 ( x k − i 2 )
Doing this product combinating terms, we have:
∏ k = 1 5 ( x k + i 2 ) = S 5 + i 2 S 4 + ( i 2 ) 2 S 3 + ( i 2 ) 3 S 2 + ( i 2 ) 4 S 1 + ( i 2 ) 5
∏ k = 1 5 ( x k + i 2 ) = − 1 + i 2 + ( i 2 ) 5 = − 1 + 5 2 i
In the same way:
∏ k = 1 5 ( x k − i 2 ) = − 1 − i 2 + ( − i 2 ) 5 = − 1 − 5 2 i
Thus:
∏ k = 1 5 ( x k 2 + 2 ) = ( − 1 + 5 2 i ) ( − 1 − 5 2 i ) = ( ( − 1 ) 2 + ( 5 2 ) 2 ) = 5 1 .
Nice. Its just a good way of representing the same solution which I gave.

x 5 + x + 1 ⇒ ( x 2 + x + 1 ) ( x 3 − x 2 + 1 ) = 0 = 0
Now, let the roots of: ⎩ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎪ ⎧ x 2 + x + 1 = 0 x 3 − x 2 + 1 = 0 be x 1 , x 2 be x 3 , x 4 , x 5 ⇒ { x 1 + x 2 x 1 x 2 = − 1 = 1 ⇒ ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ x 3 + x 4 + x 5 x 3 x 4 + x 4 x 5 + x 5 x 3 x 3 x 4 x 5 = 1 = 0 = − 1
Now, we have:
( x 1 2 + 2 ) ( x 2 2 + 2 ) = x 1 2 x 2 2 + 2 ( x 1 2 + x 2 2 ) + 4 = ( x 1 x 2 ) 2 + 2 ( ( x 1 + x 2 ) 2 − 2 x 1 x 2 ) + 4 = 1 + 2 ( 1 − 2 ) + 4 = 3
( x 3 2 + 2 ) ( x 4 2 + 2 ) ( x 5 2 + 2 ) = x 3 2 x 4 2 x 5 2 + 2 ( x 3 2 x 4 2 + x 4 2 x 5 2 + x 5 2 x 3 2 ) + 4 ( x 3 2 + x 4 2 + x 5 2 ) + 8 = ( x 3 x 4 x 5 ) 2 + 2 ( ( x 3 x 4 + x 4 x 5 + x 5 x 3 ) 2 − 2 ( x 3 2 x 4 x 5 + x 3 x 4 2 x 5 + x 3 x 4 x 5 2 ) ) + 4 ( ( x 3 + x 4 + x 5 ) 2 − 2 ( x 3 x 4 + x 4 x 5 + x 5 x 3 ) ) + 8 = 1 + 2 ( 0 ) − 4 ( x 3 x 4 x 5 ) ( x 3 + x 4 + x 5 ) + 4 ( 1 − 2 ( 0 ) ) + 8 = 1 3 − 4 ( − 1 ) ( 1 ) = 1 7
Therefore,
( x 1 2 + 2 ) ( x 2 2 + 2 ) ( x 3 2 + 2 ) ( x 4 2 + 2 ) ( x 5 2 + 2 ) = 3 × 1 7 = 5 1
