    If\[\alpha ,\beta \]are the roots of the equation\[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0,\]then the equation whose roots are\[{{\alpha }^{22}}\]and\[{{\beta }^{19}}\]is

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}-x+1=0\]

    B)  \[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0\]

    C)  \[{{x}^{2}}+x-1=0\]

    D)  \[{{x}^{2}}-x-1=0\]

    E)  \[2{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given equation is\[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0\]. \[\therefore \] \[x=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{{{1}^{2}}-4}}{2.1}\]                 \[=\frac{-1\pm \sqrt{3}i}{2}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[x=\omega ,{{\omega }^{2}}\] where   \[\omega =\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}i}{2}\]and                 \[{{\omega }^{2}}=\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}i}{2}\] Let            \[\alpha =\omega \]and\[\beta ={{\omega }^{2}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{\alpha }^{22}}={{\omega }^{22}}=\omega \]and                 \[{{\beta }^{19}}={{({{\omega }^{2}})}^{19}}={{\omega }^{2}}\] Since, the roots of the required equation is \[\omega \]and\[{{\omega }^{2}}\]. Then the required equation is also \[{{x}^{2}}+x+1=0.\]
