I want to prove that if $|z|=1 $ then $z^8-3z^2+1 neq 0$. I tried to prove the reciprocal by taking norms in $z^8-3z^2+1= 0$ and then solving for $ |z|$ but it does not work. I also assume $| z|=1 $ and then trying to see that $| z^8-3z^2+1 |> 0 $ but it did not work neither.



Any ideas on this?

          If $z^8-3z^2+1 = 0$ then
          $$
          3 |z|^2 = |3 z^2| = |z^8 + 1| le |z|^8 + 1
          $$
          and that is not possible if $|z| = 1$.

            $$|z|=1 implies |z^8|=1 $$



            Therefore, $|3z^2-1|=|z^8|=1$



            Note that $|3z^2-1| ge ||3z^2|-1| =2$



            Which is not consistent with $|3z^2-1|=1$

              Try the reverse triange inequality:
              $$|z^8 - 3z^2 + 1| ge |3z^2| - |z^8| - 1.$$
