Vedclass · Answer

(B) The given quadratic equation is $x^{2}-x+1=0$.The roots of this equation are given by $x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1-4}}{2} = \frac{1 \pm i\sqrt{3}}{2}$.These roots are $-\omega$ and $-\omega^{2}$,where $\omega$ is the complex cube root of unity.Let $\alpha = -\omega$ and $\beta = -\omega^{2}$.Then,$\alpha^{2013} + \beta^{2013} = (-\omega)^{2013} + (-\omega^{2})^{2013}$.Since $2013$ is an odd number,$(-\omega)^{2013} = -\omega^{2013} = -(\omega^{3})^{671} = -(1)^{671} = -1$.Similarly,$(-\omega^{2})^{2013} = -(\omega^{2})^{2013} = -\omega^{4026} = -(\omega^{3})^{1342} = -(1)^{1342} = -1$.Therefore,$\alpha^{2013} + \beta^{2013} = -1 + (-1) = -2$.

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are roots of $x^{2}-x+1=0,$ then the value of $\alpha^{2013}+\beta^{2013}$ is
