Complex Numbers
The cube roots of unity are
Select the correct option:
Solution
1, ω, ω²
- Equation: Cube roots of unity satisfy x3=1.
- Factorization: x3−1=0⟹(x−1)(x2+x+1)=0.
- Solve Quadratic: x2+x+1=0⟹x=2−1±1−4=2−1±i3.
- Designations:
- ω=2−1+i3
- ω2=2−1−i3
- Properties: Sum of roots 1+ω+ω2=0 and product ω3=1.
