Find all z ∈ ℂ which satisfy z^2 + 2(conjugate of z) + 1 = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I tried replacing z with a+bi, and reduced the equation to \[a ^{2}+2a+1 + (2a +bi -2) bi=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what i was gonna tell you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then set the real part = 0, and the imaginary part = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, i'm trying that now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 + 2 a + a^2 - b^2 = 0 2 ab - 2 b = 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

{{a -> -1, b -> 0}, {a -> -1, b -> 0}, {a -> 1, b -> -2}, {a -> 1, b -> 2}}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1, 1-2i,1+2i

Ok, thx! :)
