Solve for k,
Id = k(Vgs(on)-Vgs(th))^2; k = 0.24 mA/V.
Solve for Vgsq using KVL,
12 - IdRd- Vdsq = 0, substituting Id formula
12 - k(Vgsq-Vgs(th))^2(Rd)-Vdsq =0, but since it is a drain-feedback bias then Vdsq = Vgsq.
Vgsq = 6.41 V.
Solve for gm,
gm = 2k(Vgsq-Vgs(th)) ; gm = 1.64 mS.
Finally solving for Zi = (RF+ rd//RD) / (1+ gm(rd//RD)) since rd<10RD,
Zi = 2.523 M ohms.
Id = k(Vgs(on)-Vgs(th))^2; k = 0.24 mA/V.

@Ciara.
Where gm comes from? Please explain.

Zi = Rf/(1+gm(rd||Rd)).
gm = 1.64mS.
Rf = 10M ohms.
gm = 1.64mS.
Rf = 10M ohms.
