If P 1 = 1 - w 2 + w 2 4 - w 3 8 + . . . . . . . . . . ∞ and P 2 = 1 - w 2 2 where w is non-real root of the equation x 3 = 1 , then P 1 P 2 is equal to
Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
P 1 = 1 1 + w 2 ∵   s u m   o f   i n f i n i t e   G . P   a + a α + a α 2 . . . = a 1 - α H e r e ,   α ∈ - 1,1 = 2 2 + w + 2 1 + 1 + w = 2 1 - w 2 ∵ 1 + w + w 2 = 0 Now, P 1 P 2 = 2 1 - w 2 × 1 - w 2 2 = 1
