Cube roots of unity are 1, (-1+root 3i)/2 and (-1-root3i)/2. If you add all these you get zero.If you factorise x^3-1 yiy get (x-1) (x^2+x+1) . And the roots of tge second equation are complex as given above

Consider an equation: z3-1=0 here three roots are : z1,z2,z3 then z3-1=0 z3=1 then we can easily solve z1=1, z2=w= (-1+i?3)/2, & z3=w2= (-1-i?3)/2 HERE WE CAN EASILY SOLVE THAT 1+Z2+Z3 =1+W+W2=1+ (-1+i?3)/2 + (-1-i?3)/2 =(2-1+i?3)/2 (-1-i?3)/...

Write 1.0 = 1.0* Therefore (1.0)^(1/3) = 1.0 * for n={0,1,2} Therefore the cube roots are 1.0, (1/2) + i*sq root (3))/2, (-1/2)+ i*(- sq root (3))/2] sum of which three roots is + i * = 0+i*0

Write 1.0 = 1.0*[cos(2*n*pi) + sin(2*n*pi)] Therefore (1.0)^(1/3) = 1.0 * [cos(2*n*pi/3)+sin(2*n*pi/3)] for n={0,1,2} Therefore the cube roots are 1.0, (1/2) + i*sq root (3))/2, (-1/2)+ i*(- sq root (3))/2] sum of which three roots is [1+(1/2)+(-1/2)] + i * [(sq root (3))/2 - (sq root (3))/2] = 0+i*0 read less

To find roots of the equation x3 - 1 = 0 x3 - 1 = 0 (x - 1)(x2 + x + 1) = 0 Since x3 - 1 = 0 is a polynomial equation of degree 3, it will have three roots. We can see that one of the roots is 1. The other 2 roots are complex roots. Let one of them is w. Then it will satisfy the equation. (w -...

To find roots of the equation x3 - 1 = 0 x3 - 1 = 0 (x - 1)(x2 + x + 1) = 0 Since x3 - 1 = 0 is a polynomial equation of degree 3, it will have three roots. We can see that one of the roots is 1. The other 2 roots are complex roots. Let one of them is w. Then it will satisfy the equation. (w - 1)(w2 + w + 1) = 0 w cannot be 1. Hence, w2 + w + 1 = 0 If w is a root, we can see that w2 is another root. Since, w2 + w + 1 = 0, we can say that sum of cube roots of unity is zero. read less
