Let \omega=e^{i\theta}. By DeMoivre's theorem, we have

\omega^3=e^{3i\theta}=1\implies3i\theta=\ln1=0+2ni\pi\implies\theta=\dfrac{2n\pi}3

where n is any integer, but we can capture all the cube roots of unity by selecting n=0,1,2, and in particular when n=0 we get 1.


n=1\implies\omega=\dfrac{2i\pi}3=\cos\dfrac{2\pi}3+i\sin\dfrac{2\pi}3
n=2\implies\omega^2=e^{4i\pi/3}=\cos\dfrac{4\pi}3+i\sin\dfrac{4\pi}3

Recall that \cos(2\pi-x)=\cos x, so that \cos\dfrac{4\pi}3=\cos\dfrac{2\pi}3. On the other hand, \sin(2\pi-x)=-\sin x, so \sin\dfrac{4\pi}3=-\sin\dfrac{2\pi}3. So in \omega+\omega^2, we find the imaginary parts cancel, leaving us with

1+\omega+\omega^2=1+2\mathrm{Re}(\omega)

for which we have

\mathrm{Re}(\omega)=\cos\dfrac{2\pi}3=-\dfrac12

so the sum is 1+\omega+\omega^2=0.

Another way of computing the sum is to notice that

(1-\omega)(1+\omega+\omega^2)=1-\omega^3

for any \omega. We assumed that \omega^3=1, so the RHS is 0. Then for \omega\neq1, we must have 1+\omega+\omega^2=0.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

-12=5(6x+4)+7(x+6)

30x+20+7x+42=-12

37x+62=-12

37x=-12-62

37x=-74

x= -2

Find in degrees.<br> 11<br> B<br> 6<br> [?]°<br> Round to the nearest hundredth.<br> Enter
avanturin [10]

Answer:

\beta  = 28.610

Step-by-step explanation:

in this case we have a right angled triangle, whenever you see this triangle think of the TRIG RATIOS * sin, cos & tan* but if it was another triangle besides right angled triangle you use SINE RULE OR COSINE RULE

SOLUTION

\tan( \beta )  =  \frac{opposite}{adjecent}  \\  \tan( \beta )  =  \frac{6}{11}  \\  \beta  =  tan(inverse)( \frac{6}{11} ) \\  \beta  = 28.61045
