Solution

It seems like the text extraction didn't fully capture the content of the image. Let me analyze the image manually to solve the problem.

The question appears to be:

"If ω\omega is a cube root of unity, then 1+ω+ω2=1 + \omega + \omega^2 =
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 0"

This is a common problem involving cube roots of unity.

Solution:

The cube roots of unity are the solutions to the equation x3=1x^3 = 1, which are 11, ω\omega, and ω2\omega^2, where ω=e2πi/3\omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} and ω2=e4πi/3\omega^2 = e^{4\pi i / 3}. The properties of ω\omega include:

  1. ω3=1\omega^3 = 1
  2. 1+ω+ω2=01 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0

Therefore, the correct answer is 1+ω+ω2=01 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0, which corresponds to option (d) 0.
