.
1.  Evaluate the modulus  of the left side for |z| <= :


       |z^8 + (1+i)*z^3 + 2*z^2| <= (apply the "triangle inequality" to the modulus of the sum of complex numbers) <=

    <= |z^8| + |(1+i)|*|z*3| + 2*|z^2| <=  +  +  = 16 + 4 + 4 = 24.



2.  Evaluate the modulus of the right side:

    |10 + 24i| =  > 24.



3.  Comparing n.1  with n.2,  you may conclude that the equation  HAS NO solutions  in the given domain.
