Let α\alpha be a root of the equation 1 + x2 + x4 = 0. Then, the value of α\alpha 1011 + α\alpha 2022 −- α\alpha 3033 is equal to :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A 1
  • B α\alpha
  • C 1 + α\alpha
  • D 1 + 2 α\alpha

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given, α\alpha is a root of the equation 1 + x2 + x4 = 0

∴\therefore α\alpha will satisfy the equation.

∴\therefore 1 + α\alpha 2 + α\alpha 4 = 0

α2=−1±1−42{\alpha ^2} = {{ - 1 \pm \sqrt {1 - 4} } \over 2}

=−1±3i2= {{ - 1 \pm \sqrt 3 i} \over 2}

∴\therefore α2=ω ar ω2{\alpha ^2} = \omega \,ar\,{\omega ^2}

Now,

α1011+α2022−α3033{\alpha ^{1011}} + {\alpha ^{2022}} - {\alpha ^{3033}}

=α . (α2)505+(α2)1011−α . (α2)1516= \alpha \,.\,{({\alpha ^2})^{505}} + {({\alpha ^2})^{1011}} - \alpha \,.\,{({\alpha ^2})^{1516}}

=α(ω)505+(ω)1011−α . (ω)1516= \alpha {(\omega )^{505}} + {(\omega )^{1011}} - \alpha \,.\,{(\omega )^{1516}}

=α . (ω3)168 . ω+(ω3)337−α . (ω3)505 . ω= \alpha \,.\,{({\omega ^3})^{168}}\,.\,\omega + {({\omega ^3})^{337}} - \alpha \,.\,{({\omega ^3})^{505}}\,.\,\omega

=α ω+1−α ω= \alpha \,\omega + 1 - \alpha \,\omega

=1= 1
