Solve the mcq
Solution
Let's analyze the problem step-by-step:
Problem Summary:
We have an imaginary cubic root of unity given as: The task is to evaluate the given statements about :
We need to check which of these statements is correct.
Step 1: Understanding
The cubic roots of unity are the solutions to the equation . These roots are:
- (the real root),
- , and
- .
These roots satisfy:
Step 2: Evaluate Each Statement
Statement (i):
Since , we can use this property to simplify powers of : So, Statement (i) is correct.
Statement (ii):
The modulus of is: So, Statement (ii) is correct.
Statement (iii):
To find the argument of , we observe that is in the second quadrant (since it has a negative real part
