JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank De Moivre's theorem and Roots of unity

  • question_answer
    If \[\omega (\ne 1)\] is a cube root of unity, then \[\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1+i+{{\omega }^{2}} & {{\omega }^{2}}  \\    1-i & -1 & {{\omega }^{2}}-1  \\    -i & -i+\omega -1 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] is equal to [IIT 1995]

    A) 0

    B) 1

    C) \[\omega \]

    D) \[i\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\Delta \,=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & 1+i+{{\omega }^{2}} & {{\omega }^{2}}  \\    1-i & -1 & {{\omega }^{2}}-1  \\    -i & -i+\omega -1 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\] \[=\left| \begin{matrix}    1 & i-\omega  & {{\omega }^{2}}  \\    1-i & -1 & {{\omega }^{2}}-1  \\    -i & -i+\omega -1 & -1  \\ \end{matrix} \right|\]= 0   (\[\because \]Two rows are identical)
