    If\[z+{{z}^{-1}}=1\], then \[{{z}^{100}}+{{z}^{-100}}\] is equal to

    A) \[i\]                                       

    B) \[-i\]

    C) \[1\]                                     

    D) \[-1\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    \[z+{{z}^{-1}}=1\Rightarrow {{z}^{2}}-z+1=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[z=-\omega \]or\[-{{\omega }^{2}}\] For\[z=-\omega \], we have                 \[{{z}^{100}}+{{z}^{-100}}={{(-\omega )}^{100}}\], \[{{(-\omega )}^{-100}}\]                 \[=\omega +\frac{1}{\omega }=\omega +{{\omega }^{2}}=-1\] For         \[z=-{{\omega }^{2}}\]                 \[{{z}^{100}}+{{z}^{-100}}={{(-{{\omega }^{2}})}^{100}}+{{(-{{\omega }^{2}})}^{-100}}\]                 \[={{\omega }^{200}}+\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{200}}}={{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{2}}}\]                 \[={{\omega }^{2}}+\omega =-1\]
