If x is a complex root of the equation | array ccc 1 & x & x x & 1 & x x & x & 1 array |+ | array ccc 1-x & 1 & 1 1 & 1-x & 1 1 & 1 & 1-x array |=0 , then x²⁰⁰⁷+x⁻²⁰⁰⁷=
Options
- A1
- B-1
- C-2
- D2
Correct answer
C. -2
Step-by-step solution
Expanding the two determinants, we get (1-3 x^2+2 x^3 )+ (3 x^2-x^3 )=0 x^3+1=0 x=- ,- ^2,-1x²⁰⁰⁷+x⁻²⁰⁰⁷=-1-1=-2
