The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equation whose roots are \( \alpha^{19} \) and \( \beta^{7} \), where \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are the roots of the equation \( x^2 + x + 1 = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the roots \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \)**: The roots of the equation \( x^2 + x + 1 = 0 \) can be found using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \( a = 1, b = 1, c = 1 \). \[ x = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot 1}}{2 \cdot 1} = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-3}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] Thus, the roots are: \[ \alpha = \frac{-1 + i\sqrt{3}}{2}, \quad \beta = \frac{-1 - i\sqrt{3}}{2} \] 2. **Express \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) in terms of complex numbers**: The roots can be identified as the cube roots of unity: \[ \alpha = \omega, \quad \beta = \omega^2 \] where \( \omega = e^{2\pi i / 3} \) and \( \omega^3 = 1 \). 3. **Calculate \( \alpha^{19} \) and \( \beta^{7} \)**: Using the property of cube roots of unity: \[ \alpha^{19} = \omega^{19} = \omega^{19 \mod 3} = \omega^1 = \omega \] \[ \beta^{7} = (\omega^2)^{7} = \omega^{14} = \omega^{14 \mod 3} = \omega^2 \] 4. **Find the sum and product of the new roots**: - The sum of the roots \( \alpha^{19} + \beta^{7} \): \[ \alpha^{19} + \beta^{7} = \omega + \omega^2 \] Using the property \( 1 + \omega + \omega^2 = 0 \): \[ \omega + \omega^2 = -1 \] - The product of the roots \( \alpha^{19} \cdot \beta^{7} \): \[ \alpha^{19} \cdot \beta^{7} = \omega \cdot \omega^2 = \omega^3 = 1 \] 5. **Form the new quadratic equation**: The equation whose roots are \( \alpha^{19} \) and \( \beta^{7} \) can be expressed as: \[ x^2 - (\text{sum of roots})x + (\text{product of roots}) = 0 \] Substituting the values we found: \[ x^2 - (-1)x + 1 = 0 \implies x^2 + x + 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer: The equation whose roots are \( \alpha^{19} \) and \( \beta^{7} \) is: \[ \boxed{x^2 + x + 1 = 0} \]
