The complex modulus is a nonnegative real number. Equality therefore requires $z-1$ itself to be real and nonnegative. Its imaginary part gives $y=0$, and its real part then gives $x-1\ge 0$. Conversely every such point satisfies the equality. Hence the complete solution set isGeometrically this is the closed ray on the real axis starting at $z=1$.

Rewrite the rational function as $y=1-1/(x^3+1)$. It is undefined at $x=-1$, with the vertical asymptote $x=-1$, and tends to the horizontal asymptote $y=1$ as $x\to \pm \infty$. At the pole, $y\to +\infty$ from the left and $y\to -\infty$ from the right.

Its derivative isvanishing only at $x=0$. Since $y(0)=0$ and $y=x^3+O(x^6)$ near zero, this is a stationary inflection point, not an extremum. ThusThe graph increases on each side of the vertical asymptote. The left branch lies above $y=1$, while the right branch lies below it and crosses the origin horizontally.

The base $2e$ is constant. Write the exponential function as $\exp [\cos x\ln (2e)]$ and apply the chain rule:
