Find the number of solutions of z2 + |z|2 = 0.

Given:


z2+|z|2=0


Let us assume z=x+iy



x2+(iy)2+2(x)(iy)+x2+y2=0


2x2+y2+i2y2+i2xy=0


We know that i2=-1


2x2+y2-y2+i2xy=0


2x2+i2xy=0


Equating Real and Imaginary parts on both sides we get,


2x2=0 and 2xy=0


x=0 and yR


z=0+iy where yR. i.e, Infinite solutions.
