Correct answer:B
Solution
Let $z = r(\cos\theta + i\sin\theta)$. Then $r^3 + 2r^2 e^{2i\theta} + 4re^{-i\theta} - 8 = 0$. Imaginary part: $4r^2\sin\theta\cos\theta = 4r\sin\theta \Rightarrow r\cos\theta = 1$. Substitute into real part: $r^3 + 2(2 - r^2) + 4 - 8 = 0 \Rightarrow r = 2$. So $|z|^2 = 4$ — (2). $|z-\bar{z}|^2 = 4r^2\sin^2\theta = 4(r^2 - r^2\cos^2\theta) = 16 - 4 = 12$ — (1). $|z+\bar{z}|^2 = 4r^2\cos^2\theta = 4$; so $|z|^2 + |z+\bar{z}|^2 = 4 + 4 = 8$ — (3). $|z+1|^2 = z\bar{z} + z + \bar{z} + 1 = 4 + 2(r\cos\theta) + 1 = 7$ — (5).
