The correct Answer is:
To find the other root of the quadratic equation \( x^2 + x + 1 = 0 \) given that one root is \( \alpha = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the given root We are given one root of the equation: \[ \alpha = \frac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2} \] ### Step 2: Use the property of roots of quadratic equations For a quadratic equation of the form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), the sum of the roots \( \alpha + \beta \) is given by: \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} \] In our case, \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 1 \), so: \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{1}{1} = -1 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the known root into the sum of roots formula Now, substituting the value of \( \alpha \) into the equation: \[ \frac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2} + \beta = -1 \] ### Step 4: Isolate \( \beta \) To find \( \beta \), we rearrange the equation: \[ \beta = -1 - \frac{-1 + \sqrt{3}i}{2} \] This can be simplified as follows: \[ \beta = -1 + \frac{1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2} \] Now, we need to express \(-1\) in terms of a fraction with a denominator of 2: \[ -1 = \frac{-2}{2} \] Thus: \[ \beta = \frac{-2 + 1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2} = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2} \] ### Step 5: Write the final result Thus, the other root \( \beta \) is: \[ \beta = \frac{-1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2} \] ### Conclusion The other root of the equation \( x^2 + x + 1 = 0 \) is: \[ \frac{-1 - \sqrt{3}i}{2} \]
