If α, β, γ, are the roots of the equation x ^ 4 + x ^ 3 + x ^ 2 + x...
If are the roots of the equation , then is equal to
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
We know that can be written as
i.e.
So and are the roots of unity except .
Now, from the concept of roots of unity, we know
{\alpha}^{n} + {\beta}^{n} + {\gamma}^{n} + {\delta}^{n} + {1}^{n} = \left\{\begin{cases}0 & \text{if}n\text{is not a multiple of}5 \\ 5 & \text{if}n\text{ is a multiple of}5\end{cases}\right)</p><p>So,{\alpha}^{2021} + {\beta}^{2021} + {\gamma}^{2021} + {\delta}^{2021} = - 1.
