As we learnt in

Property of Modulus of z(Complex Number) -

|z_{1}+z_{2}|^{2}=\left | z_{1} \right |^{2}+\left | z_{2} \right |^{2}+z_{1}.\bar{z_{2}}+z_{2}.\bar{z_{1}}

- wherein

|.| denotes modulus of z

\bar{z} denotes conjugate of z

 

 z^{2}+z+1=0

\therefore\ \;z=\omega\ \; and\ \; \omega^{2}

Now take z=\omega,     Where \omega^{3}=1\ \; and\ \frac{1}{z}=\omega^{2}

Now  z+\frac{1}{z}=\omega+\omega^{2}=-1

z^{2}+\frac{1}{z^{2}}=\omega^{2}+\omega^{4}=\omega^{2}+\omega=-1

z^{3}+\frac{1}{z^{3}}=\omega^{3}+\omega^{6}=1+1=2

z^{4}+\frac{1}{z^{4}}=\omega^{4}+\omega^{8}=\omega+\omega^{2}=-1

z^{5}+\frac{1}{z^{5}}=\omega^{5}+\omega^{10}=\omega^{2}+\omega=-1

z^{6}+\frac{1}{z^{6}}=\omega^{6}+\omega^{12}=1+1=2

\therefore\ \; 1+1+4+1+1+4=12
