- Polynomial is given as .
-
Task 2: Justify that if is a root of , then (the complex conjugate of ) is also a root.
-
Task 3:
- Define , which represents a cube root of unity.
- a) Compute and deduce something from that.
- b) Calculate .
- c) Calculate and .
-
Task 4: Using the previous questions, show that there exists a polynomial such that:
-

Would you like to go through each step in detail, starting with the first one? Also, here are five related questions:
- What are cube roots of unity and how do they relate to the polynomial roots?
- How can the polynomial factorization in task 4 help in simplifying ?
- What are the properties of the complex number ?
- How would the behavior of change for different values of ?
- What role does symmetry play in determining the roots of polynomials like ?
Tip: When calculating roots involving complex numbers, always check if their conjugates also satisfy the polynomial equation for symmetry reasons.
