If ( 1, w, w² ) are three cube roots of unity, then ( (1- + ² ) (1+ - ² ) ) is
Options
- A( 11 )
- B( 02 )
- C( 03 )
- D( 04 )
Correct answer
D. ( 04 )
Step-by-step solution
We have, (1- + ² ) (1+ - ² ) (1) We know that, 1+ + ²=0 1- + ²=-2 subtracting 2 both the sides 1+ - ²=-2 ² . subtracting 2 ² both the sides So, Eq. (1) becomes =(-2 ) (-2 ² )=4 ³=4 . Since, . ³=1
