Consider .
By finding the roots in form, and using appropriate substitutions, show that
= 0.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Equation   = 0  is the same as   = i.


One root is, obviously, z = i,  since   = i.


Let's list all the roots 

     =  = ,  

     =  =  =  =  = i, 

              (we just noticed it above !)

     =  =  = , 

     =  =  = ,

     =  =  = .
 

Notice that    and    have opposite real parts and identical imaginary parts.    (*)
Similarly,     and    have opposite real parts and identical imaginary parts.    (**)


We can write the decomposition of    in the form of the product of linear binomials with the roots

     =  =

                = .    (1)


In this decomposition (1), second and third parentheses will give the product

     = .    (2)


Here   = ,  as we noticed in (*),  and   =  =  = -1.


Therefore, 

     = .



Similarly, in decomposition (1), fourth and fifth parentheses will give the product

     = .    (3)


Here   = ,  as we noticed in (**),  and   =  =  = -1.


Therefore, 

     = .    (4)



Thus, combining everything in one piece, we get


    If   = 0,  then   =  = 0.


QED.


At this point, the proof is complete.

Solved.

In her post, @MathLover1 incorrectly read the problem and incorrectly understood
what the problem requested to prove.

So, her writing in her post is not a proof of the problem' statement
and has nothing in common with what this problem requests to prove.

For the peace in your mind, simply ignore that post.
