The complex plane is equipped with a direct orthonormal coordinate system. Consider the equation
$$( E ) : \quad z ^ { 4 } + 2 z ^ { 3 } - z - 2 = 0$$
with unknown complex number $z$.
  1. Give an integer solution of ( $E$ ).
  2. Prove that, for every complex number $z$, $$z ^ { 4 } + 2 z ^ { 3 } - z - 2 = \left( z ^ { 2 } + z - 2 \right) \left( z ^ { 2 } + z + 1 \right) .$$
  3. Solve equation ( $E$ ) in the set of complex numbers.
  4. The solutions of equation ( $E$ ) are the affixes of four points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B } , \mathrm { C } , \mathrm { D }$ in the complex plane such that ABCD is a non-crossed quadrilateral. Is quadrilateral ABCD a rhombus? Justify.
