The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( a \) and \( b \) based on the given expressions involving \( \alpha \), and then determine the quadratic equation whose roots are \( a \) and \( b \). ### Step 1: Identify \( \alpha \) Given: \[ \alpha = \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] This can be recognized as a cube root of unity, specifically \( \alpha = \omega \) where \( \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} \). ### Step 2: Calculate \( a \) The expression for \( a \) is given by: \[ a = (1 + \alpha^2) \sum_{k=0}^{100} \alpha^k \] The summation \( \sum_{k=0}^{100} \alpha^k \) is a geometric series. The formula for the sum of a geometric series is: \[ S_n = \frac{a(1 - r^{n+1})}{1 - r} \] where \( a \) is the first term, \( r \) is the common ratio, and \( n \) is the number of terms. Here, \( a = 1 \), \( r = \alpha \), and \( n = 100 \): \[ \sum_{k=0}^{100} \alpha^k = \frac{1(1 - \alpha^{101})}{1 - \alpha} \] ### Step 3: Simplify \( \alpha^{101} \) Since \( \alpha^3 = 1 \), we can reduce \( \alpha^{101} \): \[ 101 \mod 3 = 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad \alpha^{101} = \alpha^2 \] Thus, \[ \sum_{k=0}^{100} \alpha^k = \frac{1 - \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha} \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( 1 + \alpha^2 \) Now, we need to compute \( 1 + \alpha^2 \): \[ \alpha^2 = \left(\frac{-1 + i\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{(-1)^2 + 2(-1)(i\sqrt{3}) + (i\sqrt{3})^2}{4} = \frac{1 - 2i\sqrt{3} - 3}{4} = \frac{-2 - 2i\sqrt{3}}{4} = \frac{-1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, \[ 1 + \alpha^2 = 1 + \frac{-1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{2 - 1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 5: Substitute into \( a \) Now substituting back into the equation for \( a \): \[ a = \left(1 + \alpha^2\right) \cdot \frac{1 - \alpha^2}{1 - \alpha} \] Calculating \( 1 - \alpha \): \[ 1 - \alpha = 1 - \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{2 + 1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] ### Step 6: Calculate \( b \) For \( b \): \[ b = \sum_{k=0}^{10} \alpha^{6k} \] This is also a geometric series: \[ b = \frac{1 - \alpha^{66}}{1 - \alpha^6} \] Since \( \alpha^3 = 1 \), we have \( \alpha^6 = 1 \): \[ b = \frac{1 - 1}{1 - 1} = 11 \] ### Step 7: Form the quadratic equation Using the values of \( a \) and \( b \): \[ x^2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0 \] Substituting \( a = 1 \) and \( b = 11 \): \[ x^2 - 12x + 11 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The quadratic equation whose roots are \( a \) and \( b \) is: \[ \boxed{x^2 - 12x + 11 = 0} \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( a \) and \( b \) based on the given expressions involving \( \alpha \), and then determine the quadratic equation whose roots are \( a \) and \( b \). ### Step 1: Identify \( \alpha \) Given: \[ \alpha = \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] This can be recognized as a cube root of unity, specifically \( \alpha = \omega \) where \( \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} \). ...
