there is only 1 case for real z
z2+1=2(z+1)

solving we get z=1±√2

greatest value is 1+√2...

@man111 is there any twist to the problem?

i think he meant z is a complex no.

if dat is de case den
z2+1=-(2z+2)

solving we get z=-1±√2i
but how can we find the greatest of the two?????(complex nos cant be compared)..

@ketan - you have made a mistake. you cant remove the modulus just like that for complex nos.
and i think he wanted greatest value of |z|

it has to be |z|.
btw, does any one of you have a solution to this??

Yes Rishab you are right (sorry for my mistake) actually it is |z|

and answer is |z|<=7

But there is a tighter upper bound of 3.

Since |z^2+1| \ge |z|^2-1

we have

2|z|+2 \ge 2|z+1| \ge |z|^2-1 \Leftrightarrow |z|^2 - 2|z|-3 \le 0 \Rightarrow |z| \le 3

The minimum is \sqrt 2 -1 attained when z=1-\sqrt 2
