For an arbitrary $n$, evaluate $\left(z^n+\frac{1}{z^{n}}\right)\left(z^n +\frac{1}{z^n}+1\right)$ Let me put you in context, I have the following problem:

Let $z$ be a complex number such that $$\left(z+\frac{1}{z}\right)\left(z+\frac{1}{z}+1\right)=1.$$
For an arbitrary $n$, evaluate
$$\left(z^n +\frac{1}{z^n}\right)\left(z^n+\frac{1}{z^n}+1\right)$$

I've been trying to get the answer, however I am not sure if my proof is completely rigorous. My solution:
Given the hypothesis, we have:
\begin{align*}
        \left(z+\frac{1}{z}\right)\left(z+\frac{1}{z}+1\right) & = 1\\
        z^2+1+z+1+\frac{1}{z^2} + \frac{1}{z} &= 1 \\
        z^2+1+z+\frac{1}{z^2} + \frac{1}{z} &= 0 \\
        \frac{z^4+z^2+z^3+1+z}{z^2}&= 0\\
        \frac{(z^4+z^2+z^3+1+z)(z-1)}{z^2(z-1)}&= 0\\
        \frac{(z^5-1)}{z^2(z-1)}&= 0,z\neq 1
    \end{align*}
Also, we have the expression to evaluate:
$$\left(z^{n}+\frac{1}{z^{n}}\right)\left(z^{n}+\frac{1}{z^{n}}+1\right)$$
If $n=0$:
$$\left(z^{0}+\frac{1}{z^{0}}\right)\left(z^{0}+\frac{1}{z^{0}}+1\right)= (1+1)(1+1+1) =6$$
If $n\neq 0$:
\begin{align*}
            \left(z^{n}+\frac{1}{z^{n}}\right)\left(z^{n}+\frac{1}{z^{n}}+1\right) & = 1\\
            z^{2n}+1+z^n+1+\frac{1}{z^{2n}} + \frac{1}{z^n} &= 1 \\
            z^{2n}+1+z^n+\frac{1}{z^{2n}} + \frac{1}{z^n} &= 0 \\
            \frac{z^{4n}+z^{2n}+z^{3n}+1+z^n}{z^{2n}}&= 0\\
            \frac{(z^{4n}+z^{2n}+z^{3n}+1+z^n)(z^{n}-1)}{z^{2n}(z^{n}-1)}&= 0\\
            \frac{(z^{5n}-1)}{z^{2n}(z^{n}-1)}&= 0, z^n\neq 0
        \end{align*}
Therefore,
$$\left(z^{n}+\frac{1}{z^{n}}\right)\left(z^{n}+\frac{1}{z^{n}}+1\right)=\begin{cases}
        6, & n=0\\
        1, & n\neq 0
    \end{cases}$$
What do you think?

Let $\left(z+\frac{1}{z}\right)=x$
Then $\left(z+\frac{1}{z}\right)\left(z+\frac{1}{z}+1\right)=(x)(x+1)=x^2+x$
$x^2+x = 1 \to x^2 + x -1 = 0$
By the fundemental theorem of algebra, we know this has exactly two solutions. By the quadratic formula $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$ we know that those solutions are $\frac{\left(-1+\sqrt{5}\right)}{2}$ and $\frac{\left(-1-\sqrt{5}\right)}{2}$.
So $\left(z+\frac{1}{z}\right)=x = \frac{\left(-1\pm\sqrt{5}\right)}{2}$
Multiplying by $z$ gives us $z^2 + 1 = xz \to z^2 -xz+1=0$ which has two solutions for each value of $x$, which we can also find using the quadratic formula, so we should have no more than four solutions for $z$.
$z = \frac{-1\pm\sqrt{x^{2}-4}}{2}$
$x^{2}=\frac{\left(3\pm\sqrt{5}\right)}{2}$
$z=\frac{1\pm\sqrt{\frac{\left(-5\pm\sqrt{5}\right)}{2}}}{2}$
