When is $n^{2015}+n+1$ prime? [duplicate]

When is $n^{2015}+n+1$ prime, $n \in \mathbb{N}$?

I think this seems true only for $1$.

I tried to show that $4n-1,2n+1,2^{n+1}-1$ divides the given expression but didn't succeed. I have only thought about this through the way of modular arithmetic. Someone suggested to me to use the complex roots of this equation, but didn't specify how. Are there any other results I can use for this problem(I may not know them)?

Please provide only hints if you do solve it. Thank you.

Solution 1:

\begin{eqnarray*} n^{2015} +n+1 &=& n^{2015} -n^2+n^2+n+1 \\ &=& n^2(n^{2013} -1) + n^2+n+1 \\ &=& n^2(n^3-1)\underbrace{(n^{2010}+n^{2007}+...+n^3+1)}_a +n^2+n+1 \\ &=& (n^2+n+1)(an^2(n-1)+1) \\ &=& \end{eqnarray*} Since $n^2+n+1\geq 3$ this could be prime only if $an^2(n-1)+1 =1$ and this is only when $n=1$.

Solution 2:

$2015\equiv 2\pmod{3}$ implies that $\Phi_3(n)=n^2+n+1$ is a divisor of $n^{2015}+n+1$, so...
