Let α be a root of the equation 1 + x 2 + x 4 = 0 . Then the value of α 1011 + α 2022 - α 3033 is equal to:
Options
- A1
- Bα
- C1 + α
- D1 + 2 α
Correct answer
A. 1
Step-by-step solution
Given, x 4 + x 2 + 1 = 0 Using the formula a 4 + a 2 + 1 = a 2 + a + 1 a 2 - a + 1 We get, x 2 + x + 1 x 2 - x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = ± ω ,   ± ω 2 where ω = 1 1 / 3 and imaginary. So α 1011 + α 2022 - α 3033 = 1 + 1 - 1 = 1
