If is a complex cube root of unity, then the value of [ ( ¹⁰ + ²³) - 4 ] =
Options
- A- 3 2
- B- 1 2
- C1 2
- D3 2
Correct answer
C. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
Since is a complex cube root of unity, ^3 = 1 and 1 + + ^2 = 0 . ¹⁰ = ( ^3)^3 = ²³ = ( ^3)^7 ^2 = ^2 ¹⁰ + ²³ = + ^2 = -1 Substituting this into the given expression: [ ( ¹⁰ + ²³) - 4 ] = (- - 4 ) = (- 5 4 ) = - ( + 4 ) = - (- 4 ) = 1 2 Answer: 1 2
