Mathematics Question on complex numbers
If 1,ω,ω2 are the cube roots of unity, then 1+2ω1+2+ω1−1+ω1=
A
1
B
ω
C
ω2
D
0
Answer
0
Explanation
Solution
Cube roots of unity mean ω3=1 and 1+ω+ω2=0→
1+2ω1+2+ω1−1+ω1
=(1+2ω)(2+ω)(2+ω)+(1+2ω)−1+ω1
=ω+2ω2+2+4ω3+3ω−1+ω1
=2ω2+5ω+23(1+ω)−1+ω1
=(2ω2+5ω+2)(1+ω)(3+3ω)(1+ω)−(2ω2+5ω+2
=2ω2+5ω+2+2ω3+5ω2+2ω3+3ω+3ω+3ω2−2ω2−5ω−2
=2ω3+7ω2+7ω+2ω2+ω+1
=2ω3+7ω2+7ω+20
=0
