Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, \[ \begin{aligned} 1+x+x^2 & =0 \\ \Rightarrow \quad x & =\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-4}}{2} \Rightarrow x=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{3} i}{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad x & =\omega, \omega^2 \end{aligned} \] It is given that, \(\alpha, \beta\) are the roots of the equation \(1+x+x^2=0\).…
