are you sure abt the problem , you see we get
(z2+1)(z2+1)≥1 = >(z2+1)((z)2+1)≥1 from the second condition
implying
|z|4+(z)2+z2+1≥1
let z= x+iy
which gives
|z|4+x2-y2+2xyi+x2-y2-2xyi≥0
giving
|z|4+2(x2-y2)≥0 --- (i)
now see that x=y and x=-y are both tangetns to the circle dexcribed in first equation ..
if the first equation doesnt satisfy then z has to be inside the circle .
but see that then we will have |x|>|y| in that region hence x2>y2 and hence the inequality in (i) will be satisfied .. so one or the other must be true
