    Let\[a={{e}^{i\frac{2\pi }{3}}}\]. Then the equation whose roots are\[a+{{a}^{-2}}\]and\[{{a}^{2}}+{{a}^{-4}}\]is:

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}-2x+4=0\]     

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-x+1=0\]

    C)  \[{{x}^{2}}+x+4=0\] 

    D)        \[{{x}^{2}}+2x-4=0\]

    E)  \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+4=0\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    \[a={{e}^{i2\pi /3}}=\omega \] \[\therefore \]  \[a+\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}={{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{2}}}=\omega +\omega =2\omega \] Similarly, \[{{a}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{a}^{4}}}={{\omega }^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{\omega }^{4}}}=2{{\omega }^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[a+\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}}+{{a}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{a}^{4}}}=2\omega +2{{\omega }^{2}}\]                                                 \[=2(\omega +{{\omega }^{2}})=-2\] and\[\left( a+\frac{1}{{{a}^{2}}} \right)\left( {{a}^{2}}+\frac{1}{{{a}^{4}}} \right)=2\omega .2{{\omega }^{2}}=4{{\omega }^{3}}=4\] \[\therefore \]Required equation is\[{{x}^{2}}+2x+4=0\]
