Question: If z is a nonreal root of \(\sqrt[7]{- 1}\) then z<sup>86</sup> + z<sup>175</sup> + z<sup>289</sup> ...

If z is a nonreal root of 17\sqrt[7]{- 1} then z86 + z175 + z289 is equal to-

A

0

B

–1

C

3

D

1

Answer

–1

Explanation

Solution

Sol. z7 = –1,

\ expression = (z7)12 . z2 + (z7)25 + (z7)41 . z2

= (–1)12 . z2 + (–1)25 + (–1)41 . z2

= z2 – 1 – z2 = –1.
