JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank De Moivre's theorem and Roots of unity

  • question_answer
    If \[\omega \] is an imaginary cube root of unity, then the value of  \[\sin \,\left[ ({{\omega }^{10}}+{{\omega }^{23}})\,\pi -\frac{\pi }{4} \right]\] is        [IIT Screening 1994]

    A) \[-\sqrt{3}/2\]

    B) \[-1/\sqrt{2}\]

    C) \[1/\sqrt{2}\]

    D) \[\sqrt{3}/2\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given, \[\sin \left[ ({{\omega }^{10}}+{{\omega }^{23}})\pi -\frac{\pi }{4} \right]=\sin \left[ (\omega +{{\omega }^{2}})\pi -\frac{\pi }{4} \right]\] \[=\sin \left( -\pi -\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=-\sin \left( \pi +\frac{\pi }{4} \right)=\sin \frac{\pi }{4}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\].
