The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \( 1 - \frac{1}{1 + \omega} - \frac{1}{1 + \omega^2} \), where \( \omega \) is a complex cube root of unity, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the properties of cube roots of unity The complex cube roots of unity are \( 1, \omega, \) and \( \omega^2 \), where: - \( \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} \) - \( \omega^2 = e^{4\pi i / 3} \) - The properties include \( 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \) and \( \omega^3 = 1 \). ### Step 2: Substitute the values of \( 1 + \omega \) and \( 1 + \omega^2 \) Using the property \( 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \), we can express: - \( 1 + \omega = -\omega^2 \) - \( 1 + \omega^2 = -\omega \) ### Step 3: Rewrite the expression Now we can rewrite the expression: \[ 1 - \frac{1}{1 + \omega} - \frac{1}{1 + \omega^2} = 1 - \frac{1}{-\omega^2} - \frac{1}{-\omega} \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 + \frac{1}{\omega^2} + \frac{1}{\omega} \] ### Step 4: Find a common denominator The common denominator for the fractions \( \frac{1}{\omega^2} \) and \( \frac{1}{\omega} \) is \( \omega^2 \): \[ 1 + \frac{1}{\omega^2} + \frac{1}{\omega} = 1 + \frac{1 + \omega}{\omega^2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( 1 + \omega \) Using the property \( 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \), we have \( 1 + \omega = -\omega^2 \): \[ 1 + \frac{-\omega^2}{\omega^2} = 1 - 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
