Solve the equation z2+leftvertzrightvert=0, where z is a complex number.

I've tried solving this, but I'm stuck at one point.



Here's what I did:



Let z=x+yi, where x,yR




Then , (x+yi)2+x2+y2=0



Or, x2+(yi)2+2xyi+x2+y2=0



Or, x2y2+2xyi+x2+y2=0+0i



Thus, x2y2+x2+y2=0 (i)
and 2xy=0(ii)



If 2xy=0, then either x=0 or y=0




Now, if I take x=0, and subsitute in (i), I get either y=0 or y=1.



So far, so good, but if I take y=0, and substitute in (ii):



We have x2+x2=0



so x2=x2



or x2=x




or x2x=1



or x=1



However, this solution doesn't satistfy the equation x2+x2 or the original equation.



What am I doing wrong here ?
