If the cube roots of unity are 1, ω, ω2 then the roots of the equation (x – 1)3 + 8 = 0, are
-
-1 , - 1 + 2ω, - 1 - 2ω2
-
-1 , -1, - 1
-
-1 , 1 - 2ω, 1 - 2ω2
-
-1 , 1 + 2ω, 1 + 2ω2
C.
-1 , 1 - 2ω, 1 - 2ω2
(x – 1)3 + 8 = 0
⇒ (x – 1) = (-2) (1)1/3
⇒ x – 1 = -2 or -2ω or -2ω2 or
n = -1 or 1 – 2ω or 1 – 2ω2 .
