Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) -1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given \\(z=\\cos \\theta+i \\sin \\theta = e^{i\\theta}\\) is a root of \\(\\alpha_1+\\alpha_2 z+\\ldots+\\alpha_n z^{n-1}+z^n=0\\). Substitute \\(z=e^{i\\theta}\\): \\(\\alpha_1+\\alpha_2 e^{i\\theta}+\\ldots+\\alpha_n e^{i(n-1)\\theta}+e^{in\\theta}=0\\) Multiply by…
