JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank Solution of quadratic equations and Nature of roots

  • question_answer
    Let \[\alpha \]and \[\beta \] be the roots of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0\] The equation whose roots are \[{{\alpha }^{19}},{{\beta }^{7}}\] is [IIT Screening 1994]

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}-x-1=0\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-x+1=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+x-1=0\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given \[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0\] \ \[x=\frac{1}{2}[-1\pm i\sqrt{3}]=\frac{1}{2}(-1+i\sqrt{3}),\frac{1}{2}(-1-i\sqrt{3})\]\[=\omega ,{{\omega }^{2}}\] But\[{{\alpha }^{19}}={{\omega }^{19}}=\omega \]and \[{{\beta }^{7}}={{\omega }^{14}}={{\omega }^{2}}.\] Hence the equation will be same.
