✓ Correct answer: b)
1
Explanation
Given \(z=x+iy\)
\(\overline{z}=x-iy\)
Substituting into
\(z^2+i\overline{z}=0\)
\((x+iy)^2+i(x-iy)=0\)
\(x^2-y^2+2ixy+ix+y=0\)
Comparing real and imaginary parts,
\(x^2-y^2+y=0\) and \(2xy+x=0\)
From \(x(2y+1)=0\)
and \(x\ne0\) \(2y+1=0\)
\(y=-\dfrac12\)
Substituting into
\(x^2-y^2+y=0\)
\(x^2-\dfrac14-\dfrac12=0\)
\(x^2=\dfrac34\)
Hence \(|z|^2=x^2+y^2\)
\(=\dfrac34+\dfrac14=1\)
Therefore
\(|z^2|=|z|^2=1\)
