If 1 , α 1 , α 2 , α 3 , α 4 are the roots of z 5 - 1 = 0 and ω is a cube root of…

If 1,α1,α2,α3,α4 are the roots of z5-1=0 and ω is a cube root of unity then (ω-1)ω-α1ω-α2ω-α3ω-α4+ω is equal to
  1. 0
  2. -1
  3. -2
  4. 1

Solution

 z51=(z1)(zα1)(zα2)(zα3)(zα4)

ω51=(ω1)(ωα1)(ωα2)(ωα3)(ωα4)

(ω1)(ωα1)(ωα2)(ωα3)(ωα4) + ω= ω51+ ω

= ω3×ω2+ω1=ω2+ω1               (ω3=1)

=11=2                      (ω2+ω+1=0)
