    If \[\omega \] and \[{{\omega }^{2}}\]are the two imaginary cube root unity, then the equation whose roots are \[a{{\omega }^{317}}\]and \[a{{\omega }^{382}}\]is:

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}+ax-{{a}^{2}}=0\]

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

    C)         \[{{x}^{2}}+ax+{{a}^{2}}=0\]

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

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    If\[\omega \] and \[{{\omega }^{2}}\]are two imaginary cube roots of unity, then \[1+\omega +{{\omega }^{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]                               \[\omega +{{\omega }^{2}}=-1\]                              ?(i) The sum of roots \[=a{{\omega }^{317}}+a{{\omega }^{382}}\]                                                 \[=a({{\omega }^{317}}+{{\omega }^{382}})\]                                                 \[=a({{\omega }^{2}}+\omega )=-a\][from (i)] The product of roots                 \[=a{{\omega }^{317}}\times a{{\omega }^{382}}={{a}^{2}}{{\omega }^{699}}={{a}^{2}}\] Therefore, the required equation is \[{{x}^{2}}-\] (Sum of roots) x+ (Product of roots) = 0                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{x}^{2}}+ax+{{a}^{2}}=0.\]                 Note: Cube roots of \[-1\]are \[-1,-\omega ,-{{\omega }^{2}}.\]
