    1) The only way for a fraction to evaluate to 0 is if the numerator becomes 0. That numerator will never be zero, no matter what x is, so there are no solutions.
    2) Similarly, none of the factors of the second equations are 0, so the result can not be 0.
    3) The positive square root of x can not be negative, even if x is imaginary.
    4) Absolute value function always yields a positive number or 0; never negative.
    5) Subtract x from both sides, shows 0 = 1, which is always false.

    You missed the solutions:
    1) Infinity in the extended complex plane (it's a completely valid extension, through stereographic projection onto riemann sphere...!)
    2) - Real Infinity + ib
    3) x = 1 where we branch cut f(z) = z^0.5 along the positive imaginary axis, and use the branch pi/2 < argz < 5pi/2 so that square rooting halves the argument and produces a result satisfying pi/4 < arg(sqrt(z)) < 5*pi/4 - which much be the negative root when z = 1
    4) Obviously this would work in a number system where -1 = 1 e.g. arithmetic modulo 1. I would like to find a more convoluted solution to this.
    5) This is modular arithmetic (mod 1). But if you imagine a space of a unit square, where the left edge is glued to the right edge, and top edge glued to the bottom (e.g. in some space with torus-like curvature - e.g. in old computer games), adding one to the x or y coordinate will result in no change to the x or y coordinate.

    #4 can be rewritten as (the square-root of x²) = -1. If there is no complex solution to #3 (i.e. there is no complex number whose square root is -1), then #4 would follow (there is no complex number which, when squared, would have a square root of -1) since the complex numbers are closed under multiplication (and thus squaring), and the set containing the result of squaring a complex number is a subset of the complex numbers.
